Value that never goes out of fashion

Traditionally, the Kilger leather factory was a classic pit tannery specialising in sole leather. As leather has been increasingly replaced by substitutes for shoes over the decades, we have moved into other niche areas over the years and have developed our production accordingly.

Although we still produce sole leathers using the pit tanning process, this only takes up a small part of our production. Today, we are mainly active in many small niches, which all have one thing in common: The high quality of the leather as the most important feature.

Our biggest area of expertise is now the production of high-quality leathers for the equestrian sector, where we are regarded as one of the market-leading leather manufacturers. But Kilger leather is also used to make many other diverse products: From watch straps to dog collars, handbags, belts, cricket balls and purses/wallets to cowbell straps for the cows on the alp.
