analisi

The quality of our raw materials and chemical formulations is guaranteed and certified.

Our chemical analysis laboratory determines and guarantees the properties of our basic products and compounds. Equipped with all the necessary instrumentation, it is run by experienced chemists who check the quality of every product that enters and leaves our facilities, performing random tests during every stage of production. Strict observance of procedures and careful control of product quality standards means ChimontGroup can certify the safety of its formulations and guarantee product validity and compliance with customer requirements.

concia

We experiment tanning and re-tanning solutions that meet your needs to perfection.

In our experimental tanning laboratory, we develop effective and efficient solutions by simulating the industrial process on a reduced scale. The department, run by the same drum technicians who also provide outside assistance, is always in close contact with the analysis and testing laboratory to verify and monitor results. Once the desired result is obtained, the functionality of formulations and processes is optimised for use on an industrial scale and provide in this way a solution for every individual request.

rifinizione

True technical and stylistic innovation for cutting-edge finishing.

The finishing industry is the one that most distinguishes the Tuscan tanning district. The great intuitions of the entrepreneurs, the competence of the technicians, the interaction with design offices and the organisation of the entire production chain allow the creation of original items that make Tuscany the undisputed market leader. Our finishing technicians are extremely skilled and aware of the strategic importance of the fashion factor, and give shape and substance to ideas, quickly transforming them into reality. These results make ChimontGroup the authoritative interpreter of Made in Tuscany finishing.

Quality is nothing without control.

Asking for guarantees and certifications on leather characteristics is now an operating standard of all the big names of the fashion system. ChimontGroup, in addition to the chemical analysis laboratory, has a specific department specially equipped to carry out all the physical control tests on the results of tanning and finishing. Specifically trained technicians follow measurement systems and procedures, established by international standards, to verify and prove the quality of the leather. This is an indispensable tool made available by ChimontGroup to operate on the high market segment.
