Couro Azul

Founded in 1989, Couro Azul S.A, is Portugal’s most modern tanning plant. Couro Azul is focused on producing Technical Leather for the Automotive and Aeronautic Industries Couro Azul’s specialisation in the automotive industry is the result of ongoing technological and commercial efforts and of its investment in plant and machinery, equipment, technology and Quality. The latter has led to its Quality System, certified by BUREAU VERITAS, VDA 6.1, EAQF/94 and ÖKOTEX. The success of these efforts can be seen in the development of ecological (chrome-free) leather in keeping with the most demanding technical specifications issued by carmakers. Couro Azul was among the world’s first producers of this product. Couro Azul products are now used in VW, Seat, Skoda, Ford, Volvo, Renault, Nissan and Saab cars. Couro Azul provides a complete range of leathers for the auto industry – steering wheels, seats, covers, door panels, etc. – and for home and office furniture. Some of its products can be supplied cut to size.
