The
Howe Leather story begins in Melbourne, Australia, in the
late 1800's, where the original company established a reputation
for superb leather craftsmanship. In a short space of time,
the company became the leading Australian producer of leather
for furniture, clothing, footwear, heavy belting, household
items and motor vehicle seats and trims.
As a mark of the company's reputation & standing, in
the 1920's, leather by Howe was selected to upholster the
seats of Australia's first federal Parliament House in
the nation's capital, Canberra.
During the building of the new Parliament House, in the 1980's,
Howe Leather was once again chosen as the leather supplier.
Throughout the years the company has continuously upgraded
its ability to produce the world's best automotive leather.
This has included contributing to and drawing from scientific
research, investing in new technology and developing world’s
best practice production techniques.
Today
Howe is a wholly owned subsidiary of Australian Leather
Holdings Limited, a fully integrated leather group
with wet blue tanning operations, finishing and
cutting facilities.
