Poletto Leathers

What Poletto Leathers does

Poletto Leathers is an Italian tannery founded in 1993 and headquartered in Arzignano (Vicenza, Veneto), the historical Italian tanning district, operating as Poletto s.r.l. Unipersonale. The company produces finished leather for five end-markets — footwear, leather goods, furniture/upholstery, clothing, and aviation interiors — and serves international brands through a combination of direct sales agents in Italy and abroad, a B2B online store, and presence at the major global leather and fashion trade fairs (Lineapelle in Milan/London/New York, Première Vision Paris, Futurmoda Elche). Its commercial model is characterized by no minimum order quantities, 24/48-hour shipping, and a stocked catalog of 19 product lines across more than 1,000 colors, enabling both small-batch and recurring production.

The production model is fully vertically integrated in-house, from raw hide selection through tanning and finishing to the finished article, supported by Industry 4.0 manufacturing equipment and an in-house R&D team. Technically, Poletto differentiates through a patented industrial process for Double Face leather (finished on both sides, removing the need for linings in leather goods and footwear) and the Healthy Leather® chrome-free and metal-free product family. The company holds LWG Gold, ISO 9001:2015, ICEC Healthy Leather Chrome Free, ICEC raw-materials traceability, and ICEC social accountability certifications, which collectively serve as procurement pre-qualification for global brand customers.

The company is privately held, family-run, with no disclosed external funding, M&A, or leadership changes. It employs between 51 and 100 people, 55% of its leadership composed of women, and markets itself through trade shows, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), newsletter, a corporate blog, and direct sales-agent outreach. Revenue, ownership structure beyond the Poletto family, and detailed customer identities are not publicly disclosed.
