University of Cincinnati Leather Research Laboratory?

Overview

This department of the University of Cincinnati is the only dedicated leather testing facility in the United States. Originally known as the "Tanners Laboratory", we opened our doors in 1924. We are a ISO 17025 certified laboratory dedicated to testing leather, and advancing leather research. We have helped many companies develop test methods and specifications for their products. Since we are a part of the University of Cincinnati, we have the capability to do long term research projects, that other labs may not be capable of doing.
