Hides

Collecting and Processing Raw Hides

Our own vehicles and expert employees care of the entire process, from collecting to processing and selling raw hides.


 

Preserving and adding to the natural characteristics of raw materials from the central European region is KOTO's traditional and oldest activity. We started processing raw hides in 1947 and the decades of experience, as well as loyal and satisfied customers, confirm our excellence.
Our services include:
