Our history
Hollander Hyams Ltd. was founded in London in 1945 and we have more than 60 years of experience in the hide, skin and leather industry. The company was originally very active in importing hides from North and South America into the UK to supply the thriving domestic tanning industry between the 1940's through to the 1970's. When these tanneries started to close we evolved into an international broking/trading office.
In the 1970's, 80's and 90's we were a leading supplier of US, Australian and European hides and skins predominantly to the Italian, Spanish and Turkish leather industries. We have now expanded further from being solely a broking/trading office. Today we have established our own green hide and skin collecting operations in UK, Germany and Poland. In addition to these we also have a trading office in Holland and a marketing office in Wenzhou, China.
