Hannitan Leather Cc

COMPANY PROFILE

Johann Cristoph Hanni who lived in the early eighteenth century was the family's first tanner.Succeeding generations of his family saw the art of leather making develop from the small manually operated guilde workshop through the stage when all machines were driven by one waterwheel.This was proceeded by a steam engine and later by a single electric motor at the dawn of the 20th century.Today modern techniques of pollution free tanning and automation apply. In 1965 the Hanni family emigrated from its traditional home in Beberah, Germany, to South Africa where Eberard Hanni and his two sons Manfred and Ulrich set up Hanni & Sons.Hanni and Sons became the largest and most modern tannery in South Africa.
