About The Tannery

Founded in 1903 by David Alran, the company D. Alran & Cie started by removing wool from skins ready for tanning, initially the sheep and goat skins were produced for shoes makers. Two factories were built and developed. The first, next to the Arnette river, works on tanning raw hides. The second production site closer to the town centre, carries out re-tanning and fine finishing tasks. In 1951, the second site was widely developed to service the increasing demand of the French shoe industry, in full expansion at the time. Specialization in goat leather production is step by step achieved. Many famous luxury brand names are already using D.Alrans leather products.

With a strong cultural knowledge of more than a century, and having a unique know-how in leather processing, the company renamed Alran S.A.S. in October 2007 and is now investing for the future with its customary passion.
