We guarantee source traceability, responsible water, energy and chemical management, and compliance with the sustainability criteria required by leading brands.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for working with Curtidos Segorbe?

We work with flexible MOQs tailored to each brand and project. For custom developments we can start with small sampling runs and scale up to series production. Contact us through our contact form for a tailored proposal.

Do you offer bespoke leather development and sample collections?

Yes. Our technical team develops exclusive leathers for each client: colour, feel, embossing, thickness and finish. We send physical sample collections and prototypes for approval before moving into series production.

What lead times do you offer?

By producing in Spain, our lead times are significantly shorter than those of Asian suppliers. Exact lead times depend on the product, volume and degree of customisation; we confirm them in the technical quotation.

Does Curtidos Segorbe operate nationally and internationally?

Yes. Curtidos Segorbe operates both nationally and internationally. In Spain, we serve footwear, leather goods and belt brands throughout the peninsula. Internationally, we export premium leather worldwide: Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East, handling customs documentation, certificates of origin and the LWG/REACH certifications required for each destination.

Do you provide nationwide coverage throughout Spain?

Yes. Curtidos Segorbe distributes premium bovine leather nationwide, covering all Spanish autonomous communities. From our plant in Segorbe (Castellón), we dispatch daily shipments to Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Bilbao, Seville, Zaragoza and anywhere on the peninsula with delivery times of 24-48 hours.

What is nappa leather and what is it used for?

Nappa leather is a full-grain bovine leather with a soft, supple finish and a silky feel, highly prized for dress footwear, premium leather goods and upholstery. At Curtidos Segorbe we produce nappa in multiple colours, thicknesses and handles, with LWG Gold-certified tanning and European origin traceability.

What is the difference between nubuck and suede (split leather)?

Nubuck is made by very lightly buffing the grain side of the leather, producing a velvety feel while retaining the strength of the grain. Suede or split leather is buffed on the flesh side and is generally less durable. Curtidos Segorbe produces water-repellent and oiled nubuck for technical, casual and luxury footwear.

What is double-face Velurian leather?

Velurian is Curtidos Segorbe's exclusive leather: a double-face leather that combines a polished grain side with a velvety suede-like reverse, without a lining. Ideal for unstructured footwear, lightweight leather goods and garments, it offers drape, softness and a premium finish in a single piece.

What does LWG Gold certification mean?

LWG (Leather Working Group) Gold is the highest rating under the international standard that audits tanneries for water and energy consumption, chemical management, source traceability and waste. It entails independent assessments and a score above 85%. Curtidos Segorbe is LWG Gold certified with URN CUR125.

Where does Curtidos Segorbe's raw material come from?

We work primarily with bovine hides of traceable European origin, a by-product of the food industry. Source traceability is one of the pillars of our LWG certification and allows us to guarantee compliance with brands' and designers' responsible sourcing policies.

Can you replicate a specific colour or leather reference?

Yes. Our colour laboratory and technical team can replicate existing references from a physical sample, Pantone code or client brief. We develop the colour, feel, embossing and finish until the sample is approved before scaling up to production.

What thicknesses and embossing patterns do you offer?

We work with standard thicknesses between 0,8 and 2,4 mm depending on the application (footwear uppers, linings, leather goods, belts). We have an extensive catalogue of our own embossing patterns and can develop exclusive patterns on a project basis.

Is Curtidos Segorbe a European alternative to Asian suppliers?

Yes. By producing premium leather in Spain with LWG Gold certification, we offer European brands shorter lead times, documented traceability, close technical support and regulatory compliance (REACH, ZDHC), avoiding the logistical and reputational risks associated with distant supply chains.

What is box-calf leather and how does it differ from other luxury leathers?

Box-calf leather (or box leather) is a high-end bovine leather, smooth, glossy and with a distinctive calfskin finish. It stands out for its elegance, durability and ability to retain its shine without constant polishing. At Curtidos Segorbe, we produce it in multiple colours for luxury footwear, high-end leather goods and premium accessories.

What is pull-up or crazy horse leather and which projects is it recommended for?

Pull-up leather (also called crazy horse or waxed leather) is an oiled and waxed leather that changes tone when stretched or bent, creating an aged, individual effect with use. It is ideal for casual footwear, boots, backpacks, bags and belts in vintage or workwear styles. At Curtidos Segorbe we develop pull-up leather in various thicknesses and colours with bespoke finishes.

What types of metallic, crackled and bio-oxidised leather do you manufacture?

We manufacture leathers with special finishes such as metallic (mirror or satin effect), crackled (a decorative cracked surface) and bio-oxidised (an aged, rust-like effect). Each finish is developed on a project basis with control over colour, intensity and abrasion resistance, ideal for fashion footwear, leather goods and limited-edition belts.

What characteristics should leather for luxury leather goods have?

La piel para marroquinería de lujo debe combinar suavidad, resistencia a la tracción, estabilidad dimensional y un acabado visual impecable. En Curtidos Segorbe seleccionamos las mejores curticiones (cromo, vegetal o semivegetal) según el uso: bolsos y carteras requieren flexibilidad y ligereza; maletas y fundas necesitan mayor espesor y resistencia. Personalizamos color, tacto y grabado para cada colección.

Which leather is best suited to quality belts?

For quality belts, cowhide leather with a thickness between 3,5 and 4,0 mm is recommended, preferably full-grain or vegetable-tanned, for its strength, structure and ability to hold its shape. At Curtidos Segorbe we produce belt leather in smooth, embossed, box-calf, pull-up and waxed finishes, with double-sided or integrated lining options.

What is the difference between full-grain and corrected-grain leather?

Full-grain leather retains the original top layer of the hide (the grain), ensuring greater strength, breathability and graceful ageing. Corrected-grain leather is buffed and coated with a layer of pigment or polymer to even out imperfections; it is more economical but less durable and less resilient. Curtidos Segorbe specialises in full-grain leather for premium applications.

What are chrome, vegetable and semi-vegetable tanning?

El curtido al cromo utiliza sales de cromo para obtener pieles suaves, flexibles y resistentes al agua, ideales para calzado y marroquinería. El curtido vegetal emplea taninos naturales (quebracho, castaño, mimosa) y produce pieles rígidas, ecológicas y con aroma característico, perfectas para cinturones, fundas y accesorios estructurados. El semivegetal combina ambos procesos, equilibrando suavidad y sostenibilidad. En Curtidos Segorbe ofrecemos las tres opciones bajo demanda.

How do you choose the right type of leather for technical or occupational footwear?

Technical or occupational footwear (safety boots, hiking footwear, uniform footwear) requires leather with abrasion resistance, water repellency, breathability and dimensional stability. We recommend water-repellent nubuck, reinforced nappa, oiled leather or pull-up leather depending on the use environment. At Curtidos Segorbe we advise brands and designers on selecting the optimal leather article, thickness and finish for each regulatory requirement and working condition.

What is traceability in the leather industry and why does it matter?

Leather traceability documents the animal's geographical origin, rearing conditions, the path from slaughter to tanning, and regulatory compliance at every stage. It is essential for brands that must meet EU Due Diligence requirements, responsible sourcing policies and discerning consumer expectations. Curtidos Segorbe guarantees European-origin traceability as part of its LWG Gold certification.

How long does quality leather last in a finished product?

Una piel de calidad, correctamente curtida y acabada, puede durar décadas si el producto se cuida adecuadamente. La plena flor y los curtidos vegetales envejecen mejor que las pieles corregidas, desarrollando una pátina única. La durabilidad depende del tipo de curtición, acabado, espesor y uso. En Curtidos Segorbe realizamos tests de resistencia a la tracción, abrasión Martindale y flexión para garantizar que cada artículo cumpla con los estándares de la marca.

How is leather manufactured step by step in a modern tannery?

The tanning process comprises beamhouse operations (soaking, unhairing and fleshing), tanning (chrome, vegetable or semi-vegetable), retanning and dyeing (where colour, handle and character are imparted), fatliquoring, drying, softening and final finishing (pigmentation, pressing, embossing and lacquering). At Curtidos Segorbe every stage is audited under LWG Gold to ensure quality, sustainability and traceability.

What quality controls do you apply to each batch of leather?

Cada lote pasa por controles físico-mecánicos (espesor, resistencia a la tracción, desgarro, flexión, abrasión Martindale), pruebas de solidez del color a la luz, frote seco/húmedo y sudor, y verificación de cumplimiento químico (REACH, ZDHC). Documentamos los resultados y los entregamos junto con las fichas técnicas a la marca.

Does Curtidos Segorbe comply with REACH and ZDHC?

Yes. We work with chemicals audited against the ZDHC MRSL and comply with the European Union's REACH Regulation. This ensures that the leather supplied contains no restricted substances and is suitable for brands with strict chemical compliance policies.

What do you do with waste and water from the tanning process?

We have our own wastewater treatment system and work to reduce water and energy consumption per kg of leather produced. Solid by-products are recovered wherever possible (gelatine, fertilisers, biofuel). Environmental management is one of the criteria audited annually by LWG.

Which leather do you recommend for premium sneakers and high-end sports footwear?

For premium sneakers we recommend fine nappa of 1,0–1,4 mm with good elastic recovery, water-repellent nubuck or oiled leathers depending on the desired aesthetic. We work with sneaker brands on exclusive colour, embossing and handle developments, ensuring dimensional stability and rub fastness.

Can you supply leather for automotive, marine or contract upholstery?

Yes. We develop specific leather articles for automotive, marine and contract applications with demanding requirements for light fastness, fire resistance, flame retardancy and cleaning. Each project is validated against the standards and regulations required by the end customer.

What is the difference between chrome-free tanned leather and metal-free leather?

Chrome-free leather is tanned without chromium salts, usually using vegetable, synthetic or combination tanning processes. Metal-free leather excludes all metal salts, making it even stricter. Both options meet the needs of brands that require alternatives to chrome for environmental or marketing reasons. Curtidos Segorbe offers chrome-free and metal-free developments on a project basis.

What are aniline, semi-aniline and pigmented leather?

Aniline leather is dyed exclusively with transparent dyes, revealing the natural grain; it is the most refined but also the most sensitive. Semi-aniline leather has a very light layer of pigment that protects it while preserving its natural appearance. Pigmented leather is covered with a layer of opaque pigment that evens out the colour and provides resistance. Curtidos Segorbe manufactures all three categories according to the intended use and level of protection required.

How do you manage domestic and international logistics?

Domestically, we dispatch daily from Segorbe to anywhere on the peninsula with delivery times of 24-48 hours. Internationally, we work with logistics operators specialising in leather and high-value goods for worldwide shipments: Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. We manage customs documentation, certificates of origin and the necessary LWG/REACH certifications so that the leather arrives at the customer's factory ready for production.

What documentation is included with each international leather shipment?

Each international shipment includes a commercial invoice, packing list, European certificate of origin (EUR.1 or equivalent), technical data sheet for the leather article, physical-mechanical testing report, REACH/ZDHC compliance declaration and a copy of the LWG Gold certification. This documentation enables our customers to streamline imports, comply with each country's regulations and speed up customs clearance.

Do you provide certificates of origin and EUR.1 documents for imports outside the EU?

Yes. We issue certificates of origin and EUR.1 documents for shipments to countries with trade agreements with the European Union. For destinations outside the EU (USA, Asia, Middle East), we manage the specific customs documentation required by each country, including health certificates, declarations of conformity and sworn translations when necessary.

Which labelling regulations does Curtidos Segorbe leather comply with?

Our leather complies with the EU Regulation on textile and leather designations (correct labelling as genuine cowhide leather or split leather depending on the article). For international markets, we adapt documentation and labelling to local regulations: FTC Leather Guides for the USA, China's leather labelling standards, and country-specific requirements. We provide technical data sheets translated into English, French, German, Italian and other languages on request.

Does LWG Gold certification serve as an approval document for international customers?

Yes. LWG Gold certification (URN CUR125) is internationally recognised and often serves as an approval document or prerequisite in global brands' sourcing specifications. Curtidos Segorbe provides up-to-date certification with shipments, facilitating our international customers' onboarding and due diligence processes.

Do you include a REACH and ZDHC compliance declaration with each exported batch?

Yes. Each exported batch is accompanied by a REACH and ZDHC compliance declaration certifying the absence of restricted substances, according to the updated MRSL. This declaration speeds up international purchasing because brands' quality and compliance departments receive the required legal documentation without the need for additional audits.

What quality certificates accompany leather for export?

Cada partida incluye informes de laboratorio con resultados de resistencia a la tracción, desgarro, abrasión Martindale, flexión, solidez del color (frote seco, húmedo y sudor) y solidez a la luz. También entregamos fichas técnicas detalladas en español e inglés, con especificaciones de espesor, acabado, procedimiento de curtición y cuidados de mantenimiento recomendados.

Do you handle customs procedures for importing leather into the United States, Asia or the Middle East?

Yes. We work with customs brokers and freight forwarders specialising in leather goods to manage export procedures from Spain and import procedures in the destination country. In the USA, we prepare CBP documentation; in Asia, we comply with each country's leather import requirements; and in the Middle East, we arrange halal origin certifications and other specific documents if required.

Can additional documentation such as COA, MSDS or safety data sheets be requested?

Yes. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS / SDS) for the chemicals used, raw material quality certificates and any additional documentation required by the international brand's purchasing or compliance department. Everything is supplied digitally and, if necessary, with a sworn translation.
