Why the District

The Santa Croce District trademark has been conceived by the Associazione Conciatori to synthesize and tell the incredible resource wealth  that the Tuscan tanning industry can express.

From the optimum management of environmental issues to the commitment to research and innovation, from the ability to preserve and enhance the very  finest  craftsmanship of made in Italy up to the management of training activities that promote the effective meeting  between job requests and offers, in the background of a consolidated associative experience to support the constant dialogue among entrepreneurs.

In all these areas the Tuscan tanning, which has its heart in the tanning district of Santa Croce sull'Arno, represents the highest standards, offering itself as a real model  for the sector recalling interest and admiration of the operators and not only. The Tuscan tanning industry is increasingly able to intrigue and fascinate even non-professionals, precisely because of its ability to represent themes and resources in relation to which the media system and the market are increasingly sensitive, from the practices based on a circular economy to social responsibility, from the capacity of investments aimed at knowing how to merge quality and innovation, tradition and modernity, respecting all the parameters imposed by the market. Creating widespread beauty and well-being. Making quality a value.

The Santa Croce District is all this and much more, a trademark that guarantees and conveys the quality of an entire industrial district, of the leather worked by Tuscan tanners and the work of its associated companies.
