Leather thickness reduction is the specialist process by which we reduce the depth of the leather to that required for your product. Two main procedures are used: splitting and shaving. Both processes have a precision of 0.1 mm.
SplittingIn this process the leather is split in half in which the top layer has the required thickness and a smooth and even back.

ShavingShaving is a process in which the back of the leather is removed through the use of a bladed cylinder until the leather reaches the required thickness.
