Mr. Suresh Kumar ,VP- Product Services, TÜV SÜD South Asia said that ‘The TÜV SÜD leather testing lab was set up in 2010 with an aim to support leather manufacturers and exporters of Ambur and nearby areas to meet international quality and safety standards through fast delivery and cost efficiency. We are proud to have contributed to the progress of the cluster and the growth of Ambur Open through the years stands testimony to it’.
Tamil Nadu is one of the leading states for India’s leather exports and is home to almost 50% of tanneries in the country. Approximately 45% of leather and leather products exported from India are manufactured in Tamil Nadu. Until the lab was inaugurated in early 2010 leather samples from the cluster had to be sent to Chennai, Bangalore & Hong Kong for testing. With the certification services extended at their doorstep, Indian manufacturers have been able to rapidly improve their export capabilities and grow their businesses exponentially.
