THE TANNERY

COMPANY PROFILE

American Tanning and Leather LLC is the United States’ foremost tanner of reptile leathers.

 

Located in Griffin, Georgia, we are right at the source of the finest raw material in the world for Louisiana alligator. Owned and operated by the Plott family, American Tanning and Leather LLC is a 5th generation business.

 

American Tanning and Leather LLC supplies top fashion houses around the world with the finest alligator and crocodile leather. Our family’s nearly 40 year tenure in the fashion industry continues today because of our top quality, premium service, and dedication to supplying only ethically sourced, sustainable luxury leathers to our clients.

 

Each and every skin tanned by AMTAN is selected directly from the very best farms and trappers around the globe. We are proud to be the only tanner of exotic leather to work directly with alligator fishermen and trappers in Louisiana and Florida, ensuring the very best quality and closest connection to our precious raw material.

Once the skins arrive in the tannery, our master leather technicians pay careful attention to crafting our unique and exquisite leathers. We blend state of the art tanning methods with old world leather making techniques. Using the very finest oils, dyes, and leather tannins in our process, we finish each skin by hand.

 

Still using the original drum built by our founder himself in 1980, our goal remains the same - to be the best at what we do. We never cut corners, and we are constantly striving to improve. We perform daily research and development to expand our range of colors and finishes, and we have invested in the most modern and eco-friendly tannery machines and equipment available in today’s market in order to stay on the cutting edge of making leather.

 

Our leathers are and always will be proudly MADE IN THE USA.

Over the years, tremendous time, money, and effort have been invested in perfecting the difficult process of tanning reptile skins. The finished product requires over two dozen separate operations, taking in excess of ninety days from start to completion. The proprietary processes currently used by AMTAN are the result of the evolution of nearly 40 years of carefully crafted tanning formulas.
