OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
ince ancient times, people have used animal skins to

make leather. Today, as in the past, leather is used to
make a wide variety of products. The types of skins and
the way they are processed can produce leather as soft as
fabric or as hard and tough as a shoe sole. Hides range
from lightweight and supple to tough and strong. The
tougher hides are used in the production of durable
leathers needed for the soles of shoes, animal harnesses,
machine belts and engine gaskets. Some skins are lighter

and finer grained, and are used for making fine grade
leather for shoe uppers, gloves, jackets and other apparel.

MANAGING THE FUTURE

The production of leather and leather products is a centuries old tradition in Indonesia. With a
variety of sources for hide/skins, including goat, sheep, cow, buffalo and crocodile, and skilled
leather workers, Indonesias leather industry has grown to become a strong contender in the global
marketplace for leather utilities, apparel, fashion wear and furniture products. Exports of quality
leather products from Indonesia have already reached 192 countries around the world.
The trend of international consumers is increasingly toward environmentally friendly products
created in traditional and unique styles combined with natural materials derived from plants such
as rattan, wood and other natural fibres. The Government of Indonesia is aware of this issue and
has taken regulatory measures to safeguard the environment through laws and guidelines such as
the Regulations on the Management of Hazardous Effluent.
To further improve the quality and acceptance of Indonesian products in domestic and overseas
markets, the Government of Indonesia is strongly promoting compliance to national and
international quality standards. The application of Indonesia National Standard and ISO 9000
and ISO 14000 International Standards are aimed at increasing the domestic and international
competitiveness of Indonesian products and services, conforming with the increasing level of
consumer awareness of environmental issues.
The Government of Indonesia supports the endeavours of the countrys large leather products
industries down to small-scale entrepreneurs in sustaining and further developing this valuable
heritage as a solid foundation to establish Indonesia as one of the worlds primary leather and
leather goods producing countries.

COMPETITIVENESS IN THE MAKING

Exports of quality leather products from Indonesia have already reached 192 countries around the world.
However, the benefit for varieties of Indonesia leather product exports by international market share ar e still
open for expantion. With the exception of leather gloves which have achieved 36.3 percent, other leather
products such as garments, jackets and accessories achieved only 4.3 percent, while leather bags, wallets,
suitcases and various other items together only achieved 5 percent.
A larger market share is still achievable in some importing countries such as Italy, the United Kingdom,
Germany, France, Spain, Austria and the Netherlands. To further increase the exports, the Government has
promoted Indonesian-made leather products to other parts of the globe, including the Middle East, Asia and
Australia.
To further improve the quality and acceptance of Indonesian products in domestic and overseas markets, the
Government of Indonesia is strongly promoting compliance to national and international quality standards.
The aim of adopting ISO 9000 is, among others, to have a structured and consistent quality management
system to ensure that Indonesian products fulfill the needs and raise the trust of domestic and overseas
consumers. The application of the Standard of Environmental Management System (EMS) ISO 14000 is
aimed at promoting product competitiveness in international markets.
At present, the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia in cooperation with related institutions, such as
the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Cooperatives, carries out regular national scale domestic product
exhibitions and invites international buyers to attend national exhibitions. The Government facilitates entrepreneurs with export product quality standards to participate in international exhibitions considered to have
the potential to promote Indonesia leather products, such as the Frankfurt Fair (Germany), Maces (Milan,
Italy), Birmingham (UK), Bologna (Italy) and SIPPO (Switzerland) among others.

OUT OF FINE
TRADITION
Leather has been produced in Indonesia for centuries, as
a commercial enterprise the leather and leather product
industry has existed in this country since the 18th century.
With the establishment of the leather industry, the products
of Indonesias tanning industry quickly became known
around the world for their high and distinctive quality.
08
Tanned cow hides originating from the island of Java for use as shoe upper leather became
known in Europe as Java Box (Java Cow Shoe Upper Leather). Java Box has specific features
and characteristics that leather from almost every other country does not possess. The special
qualities of Java Box are its compact and very strong, full body tissue structure and finer
grain.
Likewise, other conventional livestock hides/skins, such as goat and sheep skins also have
compact and full tissue structure as well as finer grain. If the conventional livestock hides/
skins are tanned by appropriate technology and equipment they will produce the so called
high performance leather, which is prime material for the production of high quality leather
products.
In recent years, international demand for Indonesian good quality leather products has
increased. The unique and specific leather and good designs has been one of powers of
attraction for international consumers.

UNIQUE
DISTINCTIVE
PRODUCT DESIGN
Unique or limited production leather products are usually
manually manufactured or hand-made. These products cannot
be mass-produced because they have special ornamental
designs, usually depicting regional art and culture. Leather
products having special features are widely produced in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta, such as at the Gendeng Leather
Puppet Centre and the Pucung Leather Goods Centre, as
well as on the island of Bali.The raw material of the leather
products is generally parchment leather produced from cow
and buffalo hides.
011
Leather Puppets
Leather products in the form of two dimensional leather puppets
(wayang kulit) are produced in 300 different characters. Besides their
main function as characters in the art of the leather puppet shadow play,
which is an integral part of traditional Javanese culture, leather puppets
are also made to fulfill collector and tourist market demand. They are
especially popular with foreign tourists who prefer small sized souvenirs
that are easy to transport. The most popular wayang characters are as mall
group of leading characters that include, among others: Ramawijaya,
Kresna, Arjuna, Sinta, Werkudara and Punokawan.
Wall Decoration for Home Interiors

Common products are wayang kulit characters from specific wayang
episodes. The shape and composition of colours may be conventional
or modern, but still in keeping with the traditional stories and ethics of
wayang. These products are produced to fulfill the demand of a mixed
market segment for buyers and collectors of different backgrounds of
culture, education and aesthetic experience. The puppets are usually
engraved on a piece of parchment leather as a group, however there
are also individual puppets which are framed on a velvet background.
Leather wall decorations are usually made of hairy goat leather.
012
Lampshades
These leather products are made to fulfill household
need and have been very popular over many decades.
They are produced in various shapes - triangular,
rectangular and round - and filled with ornaments of
wayang, flowers or animals. The function is suited to
need and can be table lampshades, hanging or wall
lampshades for rooms of homes, hotels and even
offices.

There have recently been orders from overseas buyers
for hotel lampshades, as well as for table candle light
shades. There are also leather lampshades decoratively
combined with carved wood, metal, ceramic, bronze
and other materials.
Room Screens and Partitions

Leather room screens and partitions are used for
home interior lay-outs where they function as room
dividers and at the same time provide a unique
decorative element. This product is very flexible
and easy to move according to the need of the room
lay-out. Generally a partition is made with a carved
wood frame filled with leather decorated with an
engraved wayang motif. The screens of slintru have
attracted domestic and foreign buyers for many years.

They are usually made in two or three panels that
can be folded onto one another and have a variety
of ornamentation. The middle panel usually has a
gunungan (mountain), while the left and right sides
are ornamented with wayang motifs according to the
story depicted. This is a popular product with buyers
from Malaysia and the Middle East.
Leather Hand Fans

These products first functioned as true hand fans,
but today they are more popular as interior wall
decoration where they are often mounted in pairs
to create a balanced and attractive setting. There are
two types of hand fan; the single hand fan and line
hand fan consisting of several leaves that are put in
line by the help of thread. The market for decorative
leather fans is gradually being developed and many
small sized leather hand fans are currently in demand
since they have become popular wedding souvenirs.
The fans may be made with a frame or stalk made
of animal horn and depict various types of pictorial
decoration, including wayang, animals and flowers,
and are often completed with the writing of
traditional expressions and adages.
013
Reptile and Fish Skin Leather Products
Hanging Decorative Articles and Bookmarks

A popular type of hanging decorative leather product
is the car mascot. These flat, circular-shaped products
are usually about 15 centimetres in diameter. The
motifs used in this product are generally wayang
character of knights or punakawan (servants).
Leather bookmarks are used for book readers to mark
the page they are reading or to locate a particular
page in a book. They are usually small rectangular
shapes of about 5 centimetres in width and 18
centimetres in length. The decorative elements are
usually famous wayang characters such as Kresna,
Arjuna, Ramawijaya, Sinta and others. Car mascots
and bookmarks are by-products produced from
the off-cuts of leather puppets, however they can
nonetheless be sold at good profit.
014
In addition to leather products made of parchment

leather, there are unique leather products, such as
bags, wallets, and belts, made of reptile and fish skin
leather. These products have a very high selling price
because the skins are difficult to find and some of
the animals - crocodiles, snakes and monitor lizards
- are protected and it is forbidden to hunt them
for their skins. Leather products made of crocodile
skins that will be sold in Europe have certificates
informing the buyers that the crocodile skins come
from breeding houses are not taken from the wild.
In this way conservation of animals in their natural
environment is maintained. Although not usually
subject to protection, fish skin leather products are
no less valuable than crocodile skin products. Some
types of fish leather products are made from stingray
leather and although having high prices, do attract
overseas buyers.
Many products that are made of leather combined
with rattan and other natural fibres have been widely
exported in recent times for their unique designs and
colours. Furniture made of wood in combination
with leather upholstery has a very high price, but
is in demand in countries such as the USA and
Europe.
Vegetable Tanned Leather Products

Due to the higher the awareness of consumers with
regard to environmental issues and environmental
regulations in place in many importing countries,
today many international buyers, especially from
European countries, now select environmentally
friendly leather products. These products include
bags, suitcases and wallets among others made of cow
leather produced through environmentally friendly
tanning methods such as by using the vegetable
tanning agent known as tannin. Besides the products
being environmentally friendly, the leather has a
natural leather fragrance that attracts consumers. The
longer the products are worn, the more the natural
characteristics of the leather become apparent, which
itself has an unusual and unique appeal to buyers.
TYPES OF FINISHED LEATHER

The type of finished leather produced depends on
the type of raw hides/skins. Raw hides can be from
conventional livestock sources such as cattle, buffalo,
sheep and goats, and non-conventional sources such
as reptiles (crocodiles, lizards, snakes) and fish skins
(stingray, whale, kakap, etc) as well as bird skins
(chicken shank, ducks, etc). Besides the origin of the
hide/skin, the type of finished leather also depends
on the type of tanning process and the sensitivity of
the hides/skins to the tanning process.

THE TANNING INDUSTRY IN INDONESIA

The leather tanning industry produces finished leather, the essential raw material needed by
the leather product industry. Leather tanning is classified as an upstream industry producing
various kinds of finished leather types, such as shoe upper leather, garment leather, glace
leather, bag and suitcase leathers, suede and some others types in line with the demand of the
downstream leather product industry.
Small-scale, medium-scale and large-scale tanneries

are mostly concentrated in Java. Most of the smallscale tanning industries are located at leather
tanning centres in: Sukaregang, Garut in West
Java; Mojopurno, Magetan and the Magetan Mini
Industrial Estate in East Java.
Medium-scale and large-scale tanning industries
are located in Java and concentrated in the Special
Capital Region of Jakarta; Bandung in West Java; the
Special Region of Yogyakarta; Semarang in Central
Java; and Surabaya, Pasuruan and Malang in East
Java. The government is now applying a system of
national product quality standard known as the
Indonesia National Standard (SNI). Currently, 65
SNI certifications have been issued and endorsed
with 10 SNI certifications for raw hides/skins, grain
hides/skins, and hairy skins, and 55 SNI certifications
for various other finished leathers.
017
Sukaregang-Garut Tannery
According to one of the Sukaregang tanners, the
Sukaregang-Garut tannery has been in operation since
the era of Dutch colonisation (1920) when there were
just three home industry units organised by families.
The tanning process was still very traditional at that
time, using the vegetable tanning agent, tannin, and
very simple equipment. During the era of Japanese
colonialism more people became interested in the
tanning industry. Marketing had already reached
Bandung and Jakarta and the tanners were able to
work for high profits. During the uncertain era of
the Indonesian independence struggle, many people
were forced to flee from Garut and consequently the
tannery went into bankruptcy.
By the 1970s, the Sukaregang leather industry
had recovered and many businessmen had started
developing leather business activities, not only in
tanneries but also in leather goods production such
as bags, wallets, purses and vests. The process of
leather manufacturing or tanning was modernised by
the introduction of chemicals and modern machines
and equipment. The tanners had begun to export
their products indirectly through the assistance of
exporters and for the reason that they were unable to
fulfill the international demand for leather.
In 1981, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the
Republic of Indonesia, in co-operation with the
Regional Government of West Java established a
Technical Service Unit. The objective in establishing
this service unit was to improve product quality
through the process of technology transfer. During
that year, the leather product and crafts business
began to develop and this had a positive impact on
development of the leather tanning industry. Using
raw materials produced by local tanneries, a range
of leather products such as leather vests, garments,
018
footwear, wallets, purses, belts and sandals were

being manufactured.
In 1998, the tanning and leather product industry
experienced its worst ever period when the economic
crisis knocked Indonesias entire industrial sector
flat. Leather production decreased to 20 percent
of its previous golden era. However, not all leather
industries experienced the devastating impact of the
crisis because many businessmen gained considerably
higher profit because their products were able to
penetrate international markets with selling prices
based on US dollars.
By 2004, after economic recovery, the number
of tanneries and leather product industries in
Sukaregang had increased to 330 industrial units.
However, only about ten of these businesses were
capable of establishing steady production levels
with consistently high product quality. Some of the
larger factories were able to export their products to
countries such as Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and
China.
Magetan, East Java Mini Industrial Estate and

Tannery Centre
Small-scale tanneries in Magetan Regency can be
traced back to the Dutch colonial era when they
flourished in two centres; Magetan Mini Industrial
Estate (MIE) and the Tannery Centre in the village
of Mojopurno. There were 40 tannery units in MIE
using chemical tanning processes and producing shoe
upper leather, upholstery leather, and others. The
Mojopurno tannery, with 75 industrial units, used
the vegetable tanning agent, tannin, and produced
vegetable tanned leather for bags and suitcases, as
well as lining leather and hides.
Besides supplying the local market of Magetan lfor

the production of shoes, wallets, belts, bags, suitcases
and other leather products, the leather was also
marketed in Yogyakarta and Tanggulangin, Sidoarjo
and other places. In order to improve the quality and
quantity of tanneries in Magetan regency, in 1981
a Technical Service Unit was established at MIE
Magetan. In 2000, the Technical Service Unit was
changed to Regional Technical Service Unit, and in
addition to its normal technical service activities,
the service units tasks were broadened to include
undertaking research and development activities,
education and training for leather industry workers,
as well as strengthening the environmental area for
small-scale industries.
The bag and suitcase industry at Kedensari,

Sidoarjo, East Java
The bag and suitcase industry (Intako) at Kedensari
Village in the Tanggulangin Sub-district, Sidoarjo
Regency, is situated about 25 kilometres east of
Surabaya along the route to Malang. The industry
has a history dating back to 1933 and it is usually
accepted that a businessman named Mr. Sarpan
was the founder of the Kedensari Bag and Suitcase
Industry. The industry was able to accommodate a
large quantity of manpower and raised the income
of entrepreneurs. The high income achieved through
excellent quality products and high production
capacity supported continual product development
in line with market demand.
019
The spirit of togetherness for the people of the

Kedensari bag and suitcase industry resulted in a
the establishment of the cooperative, INTAKO,
which was established on 7 April 1976. The
cooperative carried out saving and leoan activities
for its members, procurement of raw material for
entrepreneurs, and the organising of high quantity
orders for entrepreneurs. Besides the cooperative,
there was a Technical Services Unit established by
the Sidoarjo Industrial Office to provide technical
guidance and other services related to the bag and
suitcase industry. A showroom was opened and
this was often visited by tourists passing through
Sidoarjo, the result of a close business cooperation
between the leather bag and suitcase industry and
some travel agents based in Surabaya.

Not only limited to bags and suitcases, various other
types of leather products are continuously being
developed, including many types of wallets and belts
that are now available at Tanggulangin. Altogether,
there are now 334 leather products industrial units
and 95 showrooms and the manpower absorbed
by the industry has risen to 1,750 persons. For
recognition of the success of the leather product
centre in improving the leather product business,
the President of the Republic of Indonesia awarded
Tanggulangin the prized UPAKARTI Award. The
entrepreneurs have also received the award of First
Rank at the National Level in Quality Control. The
presentation of these awards, removed any doubts
about the quality of Tanggulangin leather products.
Tatah Sungging Leather Puppet Industry

at Pucung, Bantul in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta
Pucung village in Wukirsari, Wonogiri Sub District,
Bantul Regency, is situated at about 20 kilometres
south of Yogyakarta. The site of the Pucung Leather
Crafts Centre is close to the cemetery of the Mataram
Kings (Pajimatan).
020
In 1918, Pucung Village was led by a regional leader,

known as the Lurah, named Mr. Atmo Kariyo (Pak
Glemboh). The position of Lurah was also then in
parallel with the position of Demang, thus in 1918
Pak Glemboh was also given additional duties,
namely taking care of the leather puppets owned by
the palace together with Bekel Tembong. Because
of his daily work routine, the task of arranging and
exposing the leather puppets to fresh air, he developed
a desire to try to make leather puppets like those of
the palace. His hard work proved successful and he
created leather puppets which were then sold in the
Yogyakarta area. As orders for the leather puppets
increased, they began to attract the attention of the
Dutch.

During the 1930s, leather craftsmen in Pucung
numbered more than 30. Their production was not
only limited to leather puppets, they also began to
develop products for wayang dancers who performed
traditional wayang dances such as jamang, sumping,
kelat bahu, badong/probo, and some others.
However, in 1952 the craftsmen of Pucung began
to focus on producing leather puppets again. By
1972, the orders and production levels had been
well developed and were supplying the well-known
arts and crafts outlet, Sarinah Department Store
in Jakarta. The number of entrepreneurs grew to
300 and there was increasing product development
and expansion of the range of engraved leather art
products to include lampshades, hand-fans, mascots
and other leather products. In 1980, the government
undertook a non-oil and gas export drive and the
leather engraving industry quickly developed with
the number of entrepreneurs growing to 600.
In 1985, the entrepreneurs became even more
enthusiastic when Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX
issued instructions for the leather engraving industry
at Pucungsari to be further developed because of its
high value arts and crafts that had to be preserved. By 1990, the leather crafts at
Pucung had increased and improved, and had a total of about 1000 entrepreneurs.
The value of international exports was also very high and the busy entrepreneurs
found it difficult to fulfill the demand.
Beginning in 2003, even with the price of raw material being still relatively high,
domestic and international orders steadily increased, but on the 27th of May
2006 a huge earthquake shook Yogyakarta and its surroundings, including the
Bantul area. Consequently, the leather industries and homes were destroyed. All
the stocks of finished products, together with the production equipment and
tools as well as the raw materials were lost in the disaster.
The number of leather craft industries in Pucung has now grown to 128 industrial
units and is able to absorb around 600 workers. Current products are not limited
to leather puppets for the domestic and international markets, but now include
other products such as hand fans, mascots, bookmarks and interior products.
The Leather Goods Industry at Manding, Bantul

Manding village in Sabdodadi, Bantul Regency, is situated about 10 kilometres
south of Yogyakarta. This is a strategic location because it lies on the tourist
traffic route to Parangtritis on the southern coast. The leather product industry of
Manding was initially started by a man named Mr. H. Prapto Sudarmo in 1961
as a way for the people of Manding village to earn a living.
The ups and downs of the Manding leather good industry did not make them
lose their spirit and today Manding village is widely known for its leather
industry. Many people and institutions from all over Indonesia visit Manding.
021
Many students are doing carrying out research

activities and a number of non-government offices
are participating in the advancement of the Manding
Leather Goods Centre.
The Setyo Rukun community has been established
in Manding since 1972. Apart from this community,
there is the Karya Sejahtera community at Sabdodadi
village with its members being the leather goods and
multifarious products entrepreneurs. Business and
product development guidance has been provided
to these communities by a number of related
institutions. Along with financial investments, a
number of financial institutions also offer business
loans. Unfortunately, the interest rates are too high
for entrepreneurs of this scale.
In 2006, there were 70 entrepreneurs and 15 show
rooms along Jalan Manding, and 35 entrepreneurs
with showrooms in Gabusan Art Market. Some
entrepreneurs are changing their business from
leather crafts to natural products made from natural
fibres for the reason that market demand is high. The
entrepreneurs usually get orders from handicraft
exporting companies, among them is Out of Asia
(OA).
022
The Leather Puppet Industry at Gendeng in

the Special Region of Yogyakarta
During the rule of Sultan Hamengkubuwono VIII
and the early rule of Sultan Hamengkubuwono

IX, fine art, as well as leather puppets, received a
lot of attention. At that time, some high-ranking
court servants had expertise in leather enameling,
including among others, Ki Wedono Djojowiguno
and Ki Wedono Dargawiguna. There was also a
high-ranking court servant named Ki Bekel Prayitno
Wiguno, also called Bundu, with expertise in leather
engraving.
Ki Bekel Prayitno Wiguno became the teacher of Ki
Pudjo Atmosukarto, the pioneer of Purwa leather
puppet craft at Gendeng village, Yogyakarta. Gendeng
is situated at Kasihan Sub-district in Bantul regency
about 10 kilometres south-west of Yogyakarta. The
site can be visited by passing through the gate of
Kasongan Ceramic Tourism Village Area of about
four kilometres to the west.
Purwa leather puppets are among the fine arts that
adorned the palace walls and even today they are still
well-kept and maintained. However, as with other
art forms outside of the palace walls, Purwa leather
puppet performances became public entertainment.
The appreciation of leather puppet art has always been
supported by Javanese tradition and the residents
of Gendeng village, including the entrepreneurs,
have maintained these traditions to the present
day. Ritual ceremonies with Purwa leather puppets,
such as bersih desa, held after the harvesting period,
and ruwat bumi, a ritual for children, are still often
conducted.
Purwa leather puppet art is one of the cultural

products that receive strong public support. Leather
puppet art is like an encyclopedia of Javanese culture
that can be a life guide for Javanese society and Purwa
leather puppet art has become a Javanese identity. At
present, there are 91 of leather craft industrial units
which absorb a total of 273 workers.
Leather Crafts and Goods Industry at Bugisan,

Patangpuluhan, Wirobrajan in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta
Bugisan is the name of a kampung (village) in the
county of Patangpuluhan, Wirobrajan Sub-district,
Yogyakarta. There are two types of leather crafts
at Bugisan, namely finished leather products and
parchment leather products, and each of them have
distinctive manufacturing techniques. They have also
unique characteristics and advantages, and a specific
market share. Patangpuluhan has a relatively strategic
location, situated to the west of Yogyakarta and only
about one kilometre from the palace.
According to some long-time entrepreneurs who are
considered knowledgeable about the history of the
leather craft centre, there were two pioneers who
initiated Bugisan leather crafts, namely Mr. Joyo
Ramiyo and Kus. Based on his experience, Mr. Joyo
Ramiyo tried to improve his quality of life by making
engraved leather products from vegetable tanned
leather. The products, bags and sandals, were at first
sold through street vendors around Yogyakarta palace
and Malioboro street.
In 1980, new entrepreneurs emerged and their
products, although sold in markets, attracted the
increasing number of tourists and arts and crafts
dealers visiting Bugisan to order

leather crafts. Eventually, Bugisan
became a leading centre
of leather crafts. Based
on data presented by
Yogyakarta Industrial
Office, the leather craft
industry of Yogyakarta could be
a primary product or take first
place in non-oil & gas export
commodities (Industrial Office
Mainstay Products Mapping
Data, Yogyakarta Special
Region Province, 19911995).
Today, Bugisan is a centre
of non-shoe leather
products where there are
shops and show-rooms
for leather products
produced in Bugisan
and by entrepreneurs in
the surrounding areas.
One of leather product
entrepreneurs is Mr. Hadi
Sukirno, who successfully exports his products
to other countries such as to Singapore, Malaysia,
Greece, Canada, France, the USA and other
countries. Most of his products are exported through
representative shops in Bali. For his success, Mr
Hadi Sukirno received an award from the Minister
of Manpower in 1987 for Productivity in the Field
of Leather Craft Industry Exports. Currently, there
are 32 leather craft industrial units at Patangpuluhan
absorbing 104 workers.

HEALTHY GROWTH TREND
International trade in leather and leather products has grown
dramatically in the past 25 years. The value of global leather and
leather product imports increased from about USD 16 billion in
1984 to about USD 98 billion in 1998. The present pattern of
global trade reflects the current global realities in this industrial
sector. While the manufacture of leather and leather products
predominantly takes place in the developing countries of south
and east Asia and central and south America, an overwhelming
percentage of consumption of these products takes place in
the industrialised countries of the world, in west and central
Europe, the USA, Japan and Australia. Due to vast difference
in cost of production of leather products between industrialised
and developing countries it is believed that this trend is likely to
intensify.
On the global scale, significant cattle populations found in the US,
Argentina, the former USSR and the EU. Sheepskins originate
predominantly in New Zealand, Australia, the Near East and
the EU. For both bovine hides and sheepskins, the EU is a net
importer, indicating the necessity of proper storage and means of
transport for the typically salted raw materials.
025
The EU is the worlds largest supplier of leather in the international marketplace. Italy
is the major country in Europe in terms of establishments, employment, production
and turnover. It accounts for 15 percent of the worlds cattle and calf leather production
and 65 percent of EC production. Spain ranks second and, together with France,
Germany and the UK, accounts for most of the balance in the European leather
industry. The EUs share of world markets is tending to shrink with the development
of the leather industry in other regions of the world such as Asia and the Americas.
The clothing industry takes approximately 20 percent of all finished leather produced
in the EU. Leather for furniture and automotive upholstery represents some 17 percent
and the leather goods sector 13 percent of EU tanners output. Leather tanning is
a raw materials and labour intensive industry. Raw materials account for 50 to 70
percent of production costs, labour 7 to 15 percent, chemicals about 10 percent, and
energy 3 percent. EU tanners environmental costs are estimated at about 5 percent
of their turnover.
Tanneries in Indonesia are mostly SMEs; only 10 of them are believed to employ
more than 200 people. Only 1 percent employ between 101 and 200 people and
8.5 percent employ between 21 and 100 people. Companies are generally family
businesses with a long tradition. The most important outlet for Indonesias tannery
production is footwear, with a share of 50 percent.
COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES OF INDONESIAN LEATHER

The Advantage of Quality in Conventional Raw Hides
Conventional raw hides/skins are those originated from the flayed livestock/animal
products of cows, buffalo, goats and sheep. Indonesias leathers of this type have had
high competitive value on the international market since the era of Dutch colonialism
and until the present day have no competitors from other countries because of the
leathers following advantages :
1. Cow hides, especially from Java

1. Have strong and full tissue structure
2. Have finer grain
3. Perform little defects and even no defects found at all with well-cared for livestock
4. Contain little fat
5. Have almost even thickness
2. Goat/sheep skins
Have strong and compact tissue structure
Have finer grain
026
The Availability of Non-conventional Raw Skins

Non-conventional raw skins are those originated
from skinned livestock/animal products of the
following types:
The quality of Indonesian leather products can

already compete with other Asian countries, such
as Thailand, India and China, producing similar
products.
3. Group of reptiles such as : crocodiles,

snakes and lizards
4. Birds such as : chicken, duck and ostrich
5. Group of fish such as : whale and stingray
The 1980s and 1990s witnessed growing concern

by the global community on environmental issues.
In the context of globalisation of trade and industry,
such issues have acquired international dimensions.
While environmental protection and consumer safety
have already been accepted as part of the standard
framework of current international trade, the safety
and health of workers in manufacturing units has
also gained increased attention. One significant
concomitant of globalisation of business has been
that the manufacture of various consumer products
is today carried out in different parts of the world
according to dictates of comparative cost advantage.
However, much of the consumption of these
products takes place in the rich industrial countries
where there is very high personal purchasing power.
It is widely known that the Indonesian archipelago

comprises thousands of islands surrounded by deep
oceans filled with a rich variety of marine life such
as whales and countless varieties of fish species from
sharks to tiny and colourful coral fishes. There are
also still many almost inaccessible forest and swamp
areas occupied by reptiles such as crocodiles, snakes
and monitor lizards. Many animals not only provide
meat for human consumption but their skins are
used as raw materials in leather goods manufacturing
such as bags, wallets, purses, suitcases having very
high value.
027
VEGETABLE TANNING
Vegetable tanning is a tanning process which is carried-out by employing a vegetable tanning agent originated
from plants. The types of plants containing a vegetable tanning agent include acacia, mangrove, mahogany, tea and
mangosteen, among others. The vegetable tanning agent contained in these plants is usually called tannin. Almost all
parts of the plant contain tannin, such as can be found from the barks, fruit peels, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds. Before
being used in the tanning process, the parts of plants containing tannin are usually cut into smaller pieces, pounded and
immersed in water for some days to release the tannin. Vegetable tanning agent in powder form has to be imported into
Indonesia because there is still no extracted tanning manufacturer in the country.
The vegetable tanning process using very simple technology is a heritage from the early days of leather production
in the Garut Tannery, Magetan Tannery and Batang-Pekalongan Tannery. Today, most medium-scale and large-scale
tanneries use extract tannin and modern processing technology. In line with general public awareness on environmental
preservation, tanneries are pressured to use environmentally friendly materials and clean technology applications, so
that waste products are green-rated and safe for human beings and the environment. Vegetable tanning agents are the
most environmentally friendly tanning agents and for this reason vegetable tanned leathers are the most demanded
types of leather by overseas consumers, such as from Europe, America, Germany, Italy, Japan and other countries.
Vegetable tanned leather often has a light brown colour, but the colour can be dark brown or even reddish brown
depending on the type of tannin used.
Vegetable tanned leather tends to be physically rigid (less flexible) and not resistant to high temperature. This is contrary
to chrome tanned leather. Vegetable tanned leathers are usually used to make leather products such as bags, suitcases,
belts, spectacle cases/pouches, tissue boxes, jewel boxes, photo frames and other products. Either made by hand or
stitched with sewing machines, the products are widely produced by small-scale leather producers such as those of the
Yogyakarta leather product centres. The characteristics of vegetable tanned leather goods are its typical smell with the
leather grain or texture still being visible, and as the leather ages so the stronger will be the appearance of the original
leather. This is a particularly attractive point for foreign consumers.
There are two main issues of concern related to the

leather industry in Indonesia; 1) the improvement
of occupational safety and health at work standards
in the tanning industry, and 2) environmental
protection and consumer safety. Both of these issues
are expected to receive increased attention from the
government and institutions related to the industry.
hides or skins, a highly putrescible material, into

leather, a stable material, which can be used in the
manufacture of a wide range of products. The whole
process involves a sequence of complex chemical
reactions and mechanical processes. Among these,
tanning is the fundamental stage which gives leather
its stability and essential character.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND

CONSUMER SAFETY
The tanning industry is a potentially pollutionintensive industry. The environmental effects that
have to be taken into account comprise not merely
the load and concentration of the classic pollutants,
but also the use of certain chemicals: e.g., biocides,
surfactants and organic solvents.
Tannery Operations
The tannery operation consists of converting raw
028
The production processes in a tannery can be split

into four main categories: hide and skin storage and
beamhouse operations, tanyard operations, posttanning operations and finishing operations. After
the hides and skins are flayed from the carcass at
the abattoirs, they are delivered to the hide and skin
market, directly to the tannery. Where necessary,
hides and skins are cured before transport to the
tannery in order to prevent the hides and skins from
putrefying. Upon delivery to the site, hides and skins
can be sorted, trimmed, cured and stored pending
operations in the beamhouse.
The following processes are typically carried out
in the beamhouse of a tannery: soaking, shaving/
dehairing, liming, fleshing and splitting. Typically,
the following processes are carried out in the tanyard:
deliming, bating, pickling, and tanning. Sheepskin
tanneries may degrease the skins prior to, or after,
pickling or after tanning. The tanned hides and skins
are tradeable intermediate products (wet blue) as they
have been converted to a non-putrescible material
called leather. Processes typically carried out in posttanning operations are: samming, setting, splitting,
shaving, retanning, dyeing, fatliquoring and drying.
At this stage the leather is called crust. Crust is also a
tradeable intermediate product. Finishing operations
include several mechanical treatments as well as the
application of a surface coat.
The selection of finishing processes depends on
the specifications of the final product. Tanneries
generally use a combination of the following
processes: conditioning, staking, buffing, applying a
finish, milling, plating and embossing.
Emission and Consumption Levels

Due to the wide versatility of tanneries, both in
terms of the types of hides and skins used and in
the range of products manufactured, the emission
and consumption levels are dependent on the
raw material being processed, the quality and

specifications of the final product, the processes
chosen and local requirements. The environmental
impacts of tanneries originate from liquid, solid and
gaseous waste streams and from the consumption of
raw materials such as raw hides, energy, chemicals
and water.
The main releases to waste water originate from wet
processing in the beamhouse, the tanyard and the
post-tanning operations. The main releases to air are
due to the dry-finishing processes, although gaseous
emissions may also arise in all other parts of the
tannery. The main sources of solid wastes originate
from fleshing, splitting and shaving. A further
potential source of solid waste is the sludge from
effluent treatment outside of the tanneries.
The most environmentally significant and most used
tanning agents and their mineral/chemical auxiliaries are:
Chrome tannage using a basic sulphate complex
of trivalent chrome.
029
WASTE WATER CONSUMPTION

The tanning industry is one in which large quantities of
water are needed in the production process. Water plays
an important role in the tanning process. If the industrial
activities are not well and appropriately managed, it causes
in-efficiency of water consumption as well as creating
environmental pollution.
The main function of water in the tanning process is as a
medium for chemicals to penetrate hides/skins by mixing
or dissolving them. Water is used in the soaking, liming,
de-liming, un-hairing, bating, pickling, tanning, neutralizing,
dyeing and fatliquoring processes. Besides being used in
these tanning processes, it is also used in mechanical
work such as fleshing, sammying, splitting, trimming and
shaving, as well as in washing, rinsing and sanitary needs
in the tannery area.
To economise on the use of water hides/skins are usually
preserved using salt and then sun-drying them. Salt
preservation reduces water consumption in the soaking
process to about 30 percent. The removal of salts
attached to hides/skins prior to the soaking process of salt
preserved hides/skins reduces water consumption by up
to 40 - 50 percent.
Washing and rinsing the hides/skins with running water
needs large quantity of water. To reduce the use of water,
washing is usually done using two systems, that is batch
washing hides and skins in closed drums for a specific
length of time and then with running water, which can
reduce water consumption by about 50 percent. Using the
Hertfeld method in the liming and unhairing process, the
reduction of water, lime and Natrium Sulphides (Na2S) can
be as much as 50 percent.
The reduction of water used in tannery can be alternatively
done by optimization of equipment operated, such as by :
- installation of additional equipment, for instance the
use of transparent water pipes equipped with water
flow meters on the water tank,
- installation of flow meters on water tank pipes or
tanning drums and other equipment,
- and, repairs and maintenance for better operational
use of conventional processing drums for recycling of
tanning liquor.
030
Recycling applied in the soaking process will reduce water

consumption up to 5 percent, whereas in the liming and
unhairing it may recycle up to 70-75% of the liquor. The
use of paddles may recycle liquor at about 60 - 65 percent.
Pickle liquor used for tanning can be recycled to reduce
water consumption by about 75 percent, whereas chrome
tanning liquor can be recycled to reduce water by about
20 - 30 percent.
Recycled sammying process liquor can be re-used for
pickling or chrome tanning and may reduce water by about
20 - 30 percent. In the finishing process that usually uses
water for the exhausting machine, the water/exhausting
liquor may be re-used to reduce water by about 20 - 30
percent. The re-use of treated waste water to clean the
tannery floor and the wash tanning machines can reduce
water consumption by about 3 percent.
Considering that water is a source of life for mankind and
because of the shortage of water supply, it is essential
that the government facilitates the reduction of water
consumption, especially for industry - including tanning by the application of appropriate technology, so that the
supply and demand of water can be in equilibrium, as well
as reducing production costs.
CHROME RECYCLING
Chrome trivalent is one of the mineral tanning agents widely used in the leather tanning process. Chrome trivalent will
continue to be used as a leather tanning agent for a further 20 years. At present there is no other tanning agent that can
replace chrome as a tanning agent and maintain the superior quality of chrome tanned leather.
Chrome tanned leather has better natural performance compared to vegetable tanned leather. The advantages of chrome
tanned leather are, among others, it is physically more flexible, has good resistance to high temperatures, has better
tensile strength, and by applying modern finishing technology, the finished leather produced will be better overall. Chrome
tanned leathers are usually used for making shoes, bags, gloves, garments, coats, etc. The products are more varied
compared to those made by vegetable tanned leather.
The fact that chrome is classified as a hazardous chemical, coupled with the increase of people awareness towards health
safety and environmental preservation, consumers are now increasingly opting to buy environmentally friendly products.
However, in reality, the chrome trivalent used in the chrome leather tanning process is not a hazardous substance; the
hazardous chrome is chrome hexavalent. However, there is still some concern because under certain conditions, chrome
trivalent may be oxidised to become chrome hexavalent.
To anticipate this possibility, tanneries that currently use chrome tanning agents are encouraged to apply technology
so that the residual chrome contained in the waste water and solid wastes generated do not exceed the established
threshold of 2 ppm, so that the wastes can be directly discharged without causing environmental pollution.
One of efforts carried-out by most of the medium-scale and large-scale tanneries in Indonesia is the application of recycling
technology for the used chrome tanning liquor. The used chrome tanning liquor can be re-used four times without lowering
the quality of the leather produced, and at the same time can lower the chrome content to less than the standard
requirement. Besides recycling, some other technologies can be applied that minimise waste water generated. Among
others are re-use, recovery and end-pipe waste water treatment with either primary or secondary biological treatment.
This is being widely applied by medium-scale and large-scale tanneries in Indonesia.
031
Salt, basifying agents (magnesium oxide, sodium

carbonate, or sodium bicarbonate), fungicides,
masking agents (e.g. formic acid, sodium
diphthalate, oxalic acid, sodium sulphite),
fatliquors, syntans, resins.
OTHER MINERALS
Chrome tannage
- Aluminium, zirconium and titanium salts.
- Masking agents, basifying agents, fatliquors,
salts, syntans, resins etc.
Vegetable tannage
- Polyphenolic compounds leached from vegetable material (e.g. quebracho,mimosa, oak).
- Pre-tanning agents, bleaching and sequestering agents, fatliquors, formic acid, syntans,
resins etc.
032
Efficient raw material and energy usage, optimum

process chemical utilisation, recovery and recycling
of waste and substitution of harmful substances
are important principles for further best practices
of the industry. For tanneries, the focal points are
water consumption, efficient use and substitution
of potentially harmful process agents and waste
reduction within the process in conjunction with
recycling and re-use options.
Although tanning can be performed with different
tanning agents, most leathers are tanned with
chromium salts. Although a well-known process,
vegetable tanning is not popularly seen as an
alternative to the chrome tanning process, mainly
because they are two completely different processes
used to produce different products. Another reason is
that selection of a certain tanning agent (chromium
or a vegetable agent) will not in itself reduce the
environmental consequences of the process.
Water management
Indonesian tanneries waste water effluent
is treated in many different ways. There are
situations in which an individual tannery
applies all the above-described waste water
treatment steps on site. In other situations
an individual tannery may apply on site only
pre-treatment or a partial pre-treatment, or
no treatment at all, sending the effluent to a
communal effluent treatment plant.
For bovine hides, water consumption can
be cut if the tannery operates efficient
technical control and good housekeeping.
There are several techniques or technologies
to improve the efficiency of water use that
include optimisation of water consumption
and lowering the consumption of chemicals
used in the process and in the waste water
treatment.
Washing is one of the major sources of
water wastage. In this case it is important
to improve the matching of water flow to
the requirements of the process and to use
batch versus running water washes. The use
of short-float techniques can be achieved by
modifying the equipment to utilise short floats
before the factory can install modern tannery
machines. This is believed to be safer for water
consumption compared to the conventional
process. The re-use of waste water can decrease
water consumption considerably, but tanners
are reluctant to re-use it because of the risk
that residual chemicals or other contents in
the water will damage the hides.

IMPROVEMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND

HEALTH AT WORK STANDARDS
The conditions governing international trade in leather and leather
products have undergone notable changes. Today, the first parameters
checked by any reputable international company desirous of sourcing
leather or leather products from a manufacturer in a developing
country, are not merely confined to quality and price, but also cover
aspects such as compliance of the potential supplier with national labour
safety standards. Occasionally, this is even taken as far as compliance
to international standards and recommendations on the provision of
adequate welfare facilities to workers.
035
As part of the standard framework of current

international trade, the safety and health of workers
in manufacturing units has gained increased
attention recently. The prevailing occupational
safety and health standards at work in tanneries in
the country are key challenges faced by the industry
and involve:
Improving awareness of existing health hazards
and safety risks and their impact,
Deepening know-how on how to deal with these
issues in an appropriate way.
The fact is that the manufacture of leather from
hides and skins involves the use of a large number
and variety of chemicals, machines and equipment,
and the floors in typical traditional tanneries in
Indonesia are generally found to be wet. As a result of
a joint research conducted between the Government
of Indonesia and the United Nations Industrial
Development Organization (UNIDO), the problem
areas pertaining to occupational safety and health of
workers have been identified with specific reference
to potential sources of hazards. The specific problem
areas identified include:
036
Safety in the use of chemicals at work

Measuring and mixing of chemicals is done manually
in small-scale tanneries. The level of knowledge
about proper process control, including storage and
handling of particularly hazardous chemicals is to be
improved. Access to safety information on hazardous
chemicals is widened by the prevailing selling and
distribution practices of local and international
suppliers.
Machine safety
Locally manufactured machines generally lack basic
safety features such as active and passive safety
devices. These machines are used by most smallscale and medium-scale tanners because they are
inexpensive. Standards of machine safety therefore
are particularly low in these segments.
Control of workplace parameters

Apart from high noise levels, missing or inadequate
local extraction systems for spraying vapours, mist
and dust results in workers being exposed to hazards
beyond established or recommended occupational
threshold limits. At the same time, little attention is
paid to measures which might contribute to improved

quality or productivity, for example proper lighting,
workplace layout, alternative means of handling
material, improved house-keeping, etc.
Personal protection and emergency

preparedness
The limited knowledge and awareness about existing
health hazards and safety risks at work result in
corresponding inadequate protection of tannery
workers, as well as unsatisfactory preparedness for
fire or medical emergencies.
Framework of Conditions: Limitation of small

tanners
Despite their importance in the context of the
countrys economy (e.g. contribution to countrys
export revenues, employment, etc.), many small and
medium scale tanneries face problems such as :
Non-availability of funds in terms of fixed and
working capital, and inadequate access to bank
loans;
Non-availability of raw material of proper
quantity and quality;
Competition in product markets demanding
higher quality at lower price;
Infrastructure bottlenecks such as power failure
or erratic power supply, break-down of transport
and communication;
Old plant and equipment, limitations of space for
proper lay-out, the need for frequent maintenance
and repair (even with limited or poor outside
facilities available);
Limited access to labour market as work in
tanneries is often seasonal.
Leather manufacture in many cases is considered
a craft with a long tradition that is handed down
from generation to generation in the same family.
Production methods and process flow have virtually
037
not changed for decades, except for the introduction

of some new chemicals or improvements in machines
and mechanical equipment used.
Government and OSH in Tanneries

The Governments approach has been to look at
enhancing productivity, environmental performance
as well as safety and health standards at work
in the tanneries of the participating countries
simultaneously. With particular reference to the
aspect of promoting occupational safety and health
at work, the approach is based on a network of
demonstration sites in working tanneries as well as
effluent treatment plants and supporting institutions
including R&D and training institutes.
After assessing the prevailing safety and health
standards at work in selected tanneries, using a
standardised audit checklist developed by experts
working under the UNIDO Regional Programme,
Government of Indonesia jointly with its counterparts
and the tanners implemented improvement measures
on-site in these tanneries and effluent treatment
plants.
use locally, and highlight them when they were

particularly designed and implemented on
tanners own initiative.
Link between occupational safety and health
conditions with other management goals.
Explain and highlight the link between improved
occupational safety and health standards and
practices and improved profit situation, cost
savings, etc., again using examples from within
the tanning community.
Transfer know-how through show-how: Promote
and explain improvement measures by actual
demonstration on-site. Ideally, let the person onsite (e.g. another tanner) explain the improvement
measure.
Include practical exercises: Learning by doing
particularly action or measures which directly
contribute to solving existing problems.
Sensitising the tanners to global trade
requirements. This is particularly relevant in
situations where tanners are export-oriented or
export dependent.
Keeping the framework of conditions in mind, it

was realised by the Government that any endeavour
which aims at overcoming the lack of awareness
and lack of knowledge would have to be built around
the following principles :
At the same time, the team of UNIDO experts,

tanners and representatives from national
specialised agencies prepared a comprehensive
training programme together with training tools.
At present, training workshops are being organised
in the different tannery clusters of the participating
countries. These training workshops particularly aim
at the managers and supervisors of tanneries as key
agents of change of work conditions and practices.
Build on local practices and problems : Change is

best stimulated by starting from the real problems
and conditions in the work areas instead of the
priorities of outsiders. Approaches have to be
flexible and informal. Exchange of experience
among tanners can be used to create enthusiasm
for positive attitude to change.
Focus on local achievements : Emphasise simple
improvement measures which are already in
In Indonesia, a supporting infrastructure concerning

occupational safety and health related services
has been established through agreements between
tanners associations, R&D institutions and the
Government. Under these agreements, the tanners
can access professional services pertaining to work
place monitoring and auditing, industrial hygiene
measurement and expert guidance on on-site
improvement measures. Tanners have been trained
Ongoing endeavours
038
in occupational safety and health requirements in tanneries. A tannery specific

OSH manual has been prepared and OSH related service centres have been
established in Indonesia.
The activities initiated by the Government in the field of occupational safety and
health standards at work in the tanning industry is only a beginning. The existing
facilities consisting of OSH demonstration sites, training packages, support
services and a roster of available experts may be used by the R&D institutions
and industry associations for disseminating the ideas further. At the local level,
the designated agencies and industry associations are directed to constantly strive
for further dissemination of ways for improved occupational safety and health of
tannery workers.
Today, tanners in Indonesia are well aware of the various aspects of OSH in
tanneries and agencies and experts they could access for implementation of
improvement measures. Permanent institutional arrangements created in the
country, it is believed, will help propagate the cause further. The Government
of Indonesia will consolidate its achievements in this very important sphere and
spread the message of OSH in tanneries.

SHARE FOR INDONESIAS LEATHER

PRODUCTS
With the exception of leather gloves, which have achieved
36.3 percent, Indonesias international market share for leather
products is still low. Leather garments, jackets and accessories
have achieved only 4.3 percent, while bags, wallets, suitcases
ant other products have only achieved 5 percent. The export
of Indonesia-made leather products has reached 192 countries
around the world. However, there exist ample opportunities
for Indonesia to increase its market share for leather products
in European countries such as Italy, the United Kingdom,
Germany, France, Spain, Austria and the Netherlands.
These traditional markets need to be further developed to
increase export volumes because according to data compiled
in 2005, Indonesia is only able to supply 0.4 percent of the
global leather product demand. The European Union is the
most competitive leather product market, but the market in a
number of European countries, which have special requirements
in accepting imported goods, and profits received by exporters
may vary from country to country, may still be explored
through large-scale retailers, wholesalers and small retailers.
041
To increase exports, the government tries to promote

leather products marketing to non-traditional
markets, such as countries of the Middle East
and Asia, and also Australia and other prospective
markets. These markets need to be developed by
exhibitions and promotions, and by sending leather
product samples.
THE TREND OF EXPORT AND

DOMESTIC MARKETS
The trend of international consumers is toward
environmentally friendly products with traditional
and unique styles combined with natural
materials such as rattan, natural fibres and wood.
Environmentally friendly leather products are made
from leathers tanned by using vegetable tanning
agents and dyed using natural dyes. Vegetable tanned
leather products have a special aroma that attracts
overseas consumers. Vegetable tanned leather, or
suitcase leather, is used for making bags, suitcases,
wallets, belts and furniture.
Leather crafts as an export commodity with excellent
prospects include non-glove products, such as
household leather products and furnishings, leather
accessories, office stationery, magazine holders, CD
cases, picture frames, storage products and many
other items of practical or aesthetic value. These
products are often artistically manufactured from
leather combined with wood, rattan and other
natural fibres. Leather craft products made of
parchment leather also still have good prospects as
an export commodity in the form of candle holders,
bookmarks and leather puppets as souvenirs and
collectibles.
For the domestic market, consumers are more
interested in ladies bags, wallets and purses made
from local leather but with imported fashioned styles.
Chrome tanned leather is frequently the material
used, especially for shoe uppers.
042
DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL

EXHIBITIONS AND PROMOTIONS
Through the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of
Indonesia (National Agency for Export Development/
NAFED and Directorate General of International
Trade), in cooperation with other related institutions
such as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry
of Cooperatives, the government arranges regular
national domestic product exhibitions and invites
international buyers. Apart from these exhibitions,
the Government facilitates entrepreneurs with
export product quality standards to participate in
international exhibition events with the potential
to promote Indonesias leather products, such as the
Frankfurt Fair (Germany), Maces (Milan, Italy),
Birmingham (UK), Bologna (Italy) and SIPPO
(Switzerland), among others
Besides exhibitions and promotions provided for
entrepreneurs, the Government also carries out
promotion through the Trade Attachs of Indonesian
Embassies abroad through the Internet, brochures,
leaflets and other promotional media.
DEVELOPMENT OF LEATHER
PRODUCT SMES BY CLUSTERS
Development of SMEs by a cluster approach is the
development of an industry that consists of tens
or even thousands of inter-connected companies/
industries in a given area, starting from suppliers and
manufacturers up to marketers and retailers. It also
includes related organisations such as associations,
research and training institutions and consultants
that are unified by the same goals or provide mutual
support. Thus, a cluster has a far broader and
integrated base than either an industrial or business
centre.
A industrial or business centre is a main place of
business activity in a certain site or area where there
are businessmen using the same raw materials and the

same equipment to produce the same kind/type of
products. Such centres can be developed into clusters
or integrated as part of a cluster as the starting point
of a cluster development.
Under the lead of the National Agency for Export
Development /NAFED, the Ministry of Trade,
in cooperation with related regional institutions is
developing clusters of leather and leather product
SME with the potential to export products leather.
Yogyakarta was chosen as the embryo for the
establishment of leather product clusters in Indonesia
due to its potential and tradition as a well-established
area for leather and leather products in Indonesia.
There are currently three leather and leather product
clusters being developed in Indonesia : the Footwear
Cluster at Sidoarjo, East Java, the Footwear Cluster
at Bandung, West Java, and the Non-Shoe Leather
Product Cluster at Yogyakarta.
The cluster approach in developing leather product

centres is expected to improve the productivity,
efficiency and innovation of producers with a
corresponding increase in production output and
the mutual benefits of cooperation supporting the
broader development of domestic and export leather
and leather product business.

field of leather, rubber and plastic.
CLRP is supported by professional human resources
who have experienced and attended overseas training
in countries that have applied modern leather and
leather product technology, such as the Netherlands,
the UK, Germany, Italy, France and India. The
Centre for Leather, Rubber and Plastic (CLRP) has
sufficient means to support improvement in the
competitiveness of the leather and leather product
industries through machines and equipment, as well
as accredited testing laboratories and training and
business incubator facilities.
There are some certification and accreditation bodies
operated by the Centre for Leather, Rubber and
Plastic (CLRP); the Quality Management System

leather and leather product industries employing
the services of CLRP in certified product research
and product certification, ISO 9001:2000 and ISO
14000 Certification, and improvement of product
quality, training and testing,.
Academy of Leather Technology

In fulfilling the demand for leather and leather
product technicians, both from the private sector
and government offices, in 1954 the Ministry of
Industry implemented an Academic Level Course. In
1958, the course was promoted in status to Leather
Higher School, later being changed to the Academy
of Leather (1958), before finally being renamed the
Academy of Leather Technology (ALT) in 1967.
Based on the Joint Decrees of the Minister of

Industry and the Minister of Education and Culture
No. 276/M/SK/VI/81.0187/0/1981 dated 6th of
June 1981, the Academy of Leather Technology was

THE APPLICATION OF
INTERNATIONAL QUALITY
STANDARDS
ISO 9000 Standard of Quality Management
System
ISO 9000 is a standard of quality management
system issued by the International Organisation
for Standardisation (ISO), that provides a standard
quality management system to produce a product.
The aim of application of ISO 9000 is, among
others, by the application of this structured and
consistent quality management system to produce
a product that fulfills the consumers needs and
ensures and raises the trust of consumers.
The application of ISO 9000 is still voluntary
and until now, only ten of Indonesias leather and
leather product industries have applied this system.
050
However, in the not-to-distant future international

quality standards will be essential for these
industries to be able to compete in international
markets. In anticipating the future need for the
wider application of international quality standards,
the Government has already established some
Certification Bodies of Quality Management
System (QMS-ISO 9000) that have been accredited
by the National Accreditation Committee. These
organisations are responsible for the necessary
certification of industries and the issuing of ISO
certificates. Although there are just a few QMS-ISO
9000 bodies currently operating in Indonesia, the
number of such organisations will increase as the
demand for quality standardisation grows.
ISO 14000 Standard of Environmental

Management System
The application of the Standard of Environmental
Management System (EMS) ISO 14000 is aimed
at promoting the competitiveness of products
in international markets, conforming with
the increasing level of consumer awareness on
environmental issues. Only industries that care
about the environment and pay attention to
environment conservation and preservation in
manufacturing their products will survive and be
able to compete in the global market.
Although still in limited numbers, the Government

has already established Certification Bodies of
EMS and many industries have already applied
ISO 14000, especially those which are generally
producers of effluent waste materials that have
the potential to pollute the environment. One
such industry already complying with EMS
standardisation is the leather tanning industry.
However, the leather product industry does not
yet need to apply EMS because the solid wastes
of trimmings or cuttings can be re-used to make
marketable leather products.
