A company that never rests on its laurels, BOWRON’s ethos is to focus on the future without forgetting the path it has already travelled.

After going from strength to strength in the intervening years, BOWRON, during the late 1990’s led the world with the introduction of the new bench mark in the tanning process known as the ‘Whitan Process’. This process quickly became internationally recognized as a break through, resulting in improved quality and significantly reduced environmental impact. During this period BOWRON invested considerable capital in the construction of a new state of the art tannery. The new closed loop Whitan process, combined leading edge chemistry with the accumulated 100 years of heritage and hand crafting knowledge and experience.
