PrimeAsia partners Ecco Indonesia as part of expansion plan
Tannery group PrimeAsia has signed a manufacturing partnership with Ecco Indonesia to produce Primeasia leathers at its location in Surabaya, which will enable it to meet growing demand in Indonesia.
Primeasia Vietnam will also complete two major R&D and sample expansion projects in 2026. The first, scheduled for completion next month, will add 19 drums, increasing the retanning and colouring capacity by 30%. Later in the year, another 24 drums will be added. This will enable more than 900 sample runs per week.
It has also completed the rooftop solar installation at the Vietnam facility (pictured), working towards a target of 100% renewable energy at its facilities by 2040.
Group CEO Jon Clark said: “We are moving forward with strength by investing in our facilities to meet the growing needs of our customers — delivering greater reliability, speed, and efficiency, while maintaining strong focus on resource management, risk mitigation and cost control.
"We are also taking proactive steps to address the increasing complexity of our broad product mix and the shift in customer demand toward smaller, faster production batches that better reflect today’s consumer buying habits.”
