The process

One chain. Three products.

Leather leaves our line at three points — wet blue, crust, or finished. Everything before that point happens here in Nukus, inside one LWG-audited chain.

Hair-on cowhide, the raw material — Hair-on cowhide — the raw material

Raw hide

Cowhides from the region, salted, graded and weighed on intake. Karakalpakstan is cattle country — the raw material starts within reach of the plant.

The soaking and liming drum hall at Nukus — Soaking and liming drums — the wet end of the chain

Beamhouse

Soaking, liming, unhairing, fleshing, splitting. The hide is taken back to clean structure before a drop of tanning chemistry touches it.

Tanning

Chrome tannage in timber drums the size of rooms. Two rows of them, running the width of the original 2012 hall.

Product № 1 — Wet Blue

Wet blue

Five steps: sammying, measuring, selection, splitting, then shaving. Selection is the one that matters most — this is where the destination of every hide is decided: out as wet blue, on to crust, or through to finished leather.

Stacked dyed leathers — Dyed leather, stacked

Retanning & dyeing

Retanned, dyed through and fatliquored to the article's recipe — where the character of the final leather is decided.

Product № 2 — Crust

Drying to crust

Vacuum plates, overhead rails, conditioning. Dried to crust, this is the article we export: the leather that comes back to the world as “Made in Italy.”

Finishing

Spray lines, roller coating, vacuum drying, embossing, milling — a complete Italian-built finishing chain under this roof.

Finished black full-grain leather — Finished black leather — full grain, pigmented

Product № 3 — Finished leather

Finished leather

Graded, measured and dispatched — finished leather for footwear, developed to the customer's standard.

The leather

Three ways to buy.

Wet Blue

Chrome-tanned cowhide, sammyed and selected. Sold by selection, packed for onward tanning.

Crust

Retanned, dyed and dried, ready for finishing — the article we deliver to customers worldwide.

Finished leather

Finished for footwear — pigmented, embossed, milled. Full grain and split, developed to customer standard.

Full technical sheets — substance, selection, cuttings — ship with every sample.

What the leather becomes.

Our finished article is developed for footwear — uppers and linings, full grain and split, to the customer's substance and standard.

The equipment

An Italian finishing line, in Karakalpakstan.

The plant was built from the ground up in 2010–2012 and equipped through the finishing chain with Italian machinery — shaving, samming, carousel spray, roller coating, vacuum drying, embossing. The claim isn't decoration. It's on the nameplates.

Traceability, stated plainly

Hide origin is 100% regional, as recorded in our LWG audit. Documented farm-level traceability is the next step on our roadmap — not a claim we make today.

Water & chemistry

Water use, effluent treatment and restricted-substance management are assessed under the LWG audit protocol, on a fixed re-audit cycle.

Documents, not adjectives

Every claim on this site traces to an audit record, a registry entry or a certificate. Your compliance team can have copies of all of it.

The consumer mark

NUKUSTAVRO

“Tavro” is the mark burned into a hide — the oldest proof of origin there is.

NUKUSTAVRO is our registered mark for footwear, clothing and headgear — certificate № MGU 66449, Nice Class 25, protected to 2035. The leather is already made in Nukus. The products that will carry its mark come next.
