Who we are
Erretre was founded in 1974 as a technical design firm aimed at developing new ideas and know-how (chemical, mechanical and technical) for leather processing in one of the largest tanning districts in the world, as well as the most historic in Italy.
History
From the very start, Erretre focused its attention on the final phase of the tanning process: the leather and hide finishing phase. It began with the design and construction of milling drums, spray cabins and drying tunnels, which went on to be constantly renewed and updated, in line with the research carried out and the experience acquired over time. This led to the construction of products with superior-high-quality standards: efficient machinery, innovative in their essence, reliable over time and easy to maintain.
Experience and continuous innovation
Chemical Milling® is one of the successful projects resulting from our continuous research: a leather finishing technology with the controlled injection of chemical products directly during the milling phase.
In 1984 Erretre was already regarded as a pioneer given its vision of the tanning sector and the research carried out in collaboration with the University of Occupational Medicine of Padua, developing new aerosol systems to manage the powders that formed during the leather and hide pigmentation phase; this led to the development of innovative spraying and dust abatement methods, anticipating the current regulations by an outstanding 10 years.
Over 100 international patents confirm the original features of the technical solutions conceived and designed by Erretre. Today, after so many years in the industry, the same passion and curiosity continue to inspire our research in various directions and support and strengthen our position as a leader in the sector.
