Austral Chemicals started supplying chemicals to tanneries in 1942. Today, Austral Chemicals is the leading supplier in Chile with the broadest range of products.
BASF is a leading partner for leather manufacturers worldwide. With more than 100 years of experience in leather chemicals, they boast a product range that covers the complete leather-making process, from beamhouse to finishing. BASF provides chemicals for the production of leather and fur for shoes, garments, upholstery, automotive and leather goods. More importantly, BASF offers not only products but value-added solutions. Their offerings are backed by consistent high product quality, consumer safety and customer service.
Both companies decided to work closely together to offer the best technical know how in the market place and inovative solutions. We want to help Chilean tanneries to take advantage of high quality skins produced in Chile and enhance their finished goods.
