Finishing
After the wet-end manufacturing process, the leather is treated with coatings and finishing solutions to modify, enhance or develop its appearance or characteristics. This process is called leather finishing. The first step is to apply requalification solutions that cover grain defects - release paper is one example. The leathers are finished to support the customer's visual and physical specifications. The various articles are personalized with the finishing.

where the hides, placed on conveyor belts, are sprayed on the surface inside booths equipped with a series of rotating guns.
