Salted Goat Skins

 

New Zealand goatskins are mainly produced between March and August each year. While limited in numbers they are finished for variable end uses including the production of shoes, gloves and garments. Goatskins offer good strength even at light substances as well as flat and tight grains.

Salted Goatskins
Following slaughter skins are cooled under controlled conditions for

transportation to one of our processing sites. Skins are salted upon arrival. The Salted goatskins are graded and packed for distribution to customers or prepared for further processing.

Pickled Goatskins
Processing through to pickle is available on request on a contract basis and is subject to minimum volumes and the availability of processing space. Skins are wet back from salted goatskins fleshed, placed in vessels and processed through to pickled goatskins. The pickled goatskins are graded and packed for distribution to customers.
