Green Leather has chosen “E-Luxury Hybrid”

The ongoing collaboration between Spraytech and Green Leather Srl, specialized in the production of articles in the tanning sector mainly for the furniture and automotive sectors, has solid foundations. Green Leather was born in 2004 (it will therefore celebrate its twentieth anniversary in a few months), when Camillo Basso –father of the current owner Gianmarco – together with Futura Leathers and a third partner, acquired the business from an important tanning group in Arzignano.
“Since the beginning – explains Gianmarco Basso, whom we interviewed at the headquarters – our target has been the high-quality segment, thus favoring full grain, half grain and printing. In particular, we are specialized in the production of leather for sofas, which has always been our main focus, even if over the years we have developed several products for the leather goods and footwear sectors with a large variety of items. Inside the factory we take care of all the finishing phases including printing, even if for this type of processing we also make use of outer contractors, which are essential given the considerable variety of requests from the fashion world. For years we have been collaborating with the most important industries and brands in the sector and this has driven us to a never-ending improvement through constant commitment to the development of quality, innovation and respect for the environment. Our strategy is clear: the tannery’s love for leather does not exclude that for the environment, our attitude is that of real sustainability. Timeliness, competitiveness and originality are just some of the important characteristics that let us stand out on the market.”
“The possibility to offer several articles featuring different variations – adds the owner of Green Leather – is linked to the relationship with Futura Leathers, which is one of the most important commercial companies in the Arzignano district, boasting a worldwide sales network. We are committed to supplying them with the products of our range, guaranteeing some stages of the supply chain, in particular traceability and sustainability – also thanks to the LWG certification obtained with the highest marks. Our prerogative is the processing of large leathers, but what characterizes us is that, by offering many articles and colours, we are able to manage several finishes. As far as the prints are concerned, the production is done in-house, in particular the Pegasus, aged, tumbled, madras, dollar, goat and goatskin types – the latter are the most requested on the market. We have few competitors at an international level and, among our flagships, stands out a line of furniture fireproof leather for the avionics sector, which requires to be particularly processed and must feature very precise technical characteristics.”
So let’s focus on the partnership between the two companies, which was reprised at the beginning of 2023 with the purchase of a top-of-the-range machine. “We’ve been knowing each other twenty years now – Gianmarco specifies, – given that we have been collaborating since the foundation of Green Leather. Over the years this partnership was brought forward through the maintenance of the machines and with the purchase of various spray guns and the STS and RWS groups. Last January we decided to purchase the new Spraytech spraying line, the E-Luxury Hybrid model, which is a hybrid system, a step forward compared to the traditional dry processing model. We are very satisfied because once installed and tested, the machinery immediately started working at full speed. Being outside the district of Arzignano, we are not connected with a centralized purifier, therefore the use of water represents a cost. This aspect also convinced us to choose the Spraytech plant, which is considerably better than others due to the fact that it boasts a water filtering system located just before the entrance of the fume suppressor. This allows a pre-abatement of pollutants through a waterfall while keeping the inside of the cabin dry: a system that we believe is more effective than other competing brands. Beyond the long-standing friendship that binds me to Stefano Mastrotto, we made this choice by carefully evaluating the systems on the market and finally understanding that it was the most advanced solution on the market.”
“Over the past few months – concludes Basso – we have often met with Stefano and the Spraytech technicians, solving any type of difficulty together but above all we have developed the best work strategies, also intervening on the upgrading of our most old spraying booths supplied, which are the ones that need the most maintenance and interventions. Another essential aspect that has strengthened this partnership: in our business we cannot afford prolonged machine stops, with Spraytech immediate assistance is guaranteed, within a few minutes their technicians are able to intervene and solve the problem. We are convinced that this path taken together has served both us and them to grow and face new challenges in the tanning market, increasingly oriented towards evolution of processes.”
