Now well into 2013 we can look back at our accomplish-ments so far.  Chemtan has introduced many new products and Showline leathers incorporating these products. Chemtan has also expanded its offerings in the area of beam and tan to more completely service this section of the leather industry. Our goal in 2013 is to continue to fill out our product line with new and unique value added offerings. Using new and existing products to demonstrate the upgrading of crust and finished leathers so that lower cost wet blue can be used is one of our goals. On this webpage are links to the 2013 Showline and new this year is a link to our Chemtan product sheets.

Chemtan will continue to develop and offer new products that add value to the leathers our customer’s process. As indicated previously adding value to leather by upgrading its appearance is a continuing goal. 

Recently we have surveyed our employees to see what they felt Chemtan offers to the industry. To a person from the loading dock thru the laboratory to administration customer service is what they believe that Chemtan stands for. Chemtan is proud of the employees we have and values the skills they bring to work every day.  Their dedication is what our customers have come to value. We all realize that there is always room for improvement and strive to identify those oppor-tunities so that we continuously improve our service to the leather industry.

From the first moment that our sales staff contacts the customer until product has been delivered we do everything possible to make the process as rewarding as possible for the customer. Partnering with our customers at all levels is our goal. With some customers we have developed inventory controls systems that help insure that the customer does not run out product. If you are interested in the value added systems that Chemtan can bring to your company please contact your salesperson. If you have any suggestions as to how Chemtan can improve or if we are falling short of your expectations please contact me directly.

We always appreciate the reception that our customers give us and strive hard to satisfy their needs.
