Tannin Corporation

Tannin Corporation was first established in 1944, to manufacture and distribute leather chemicals to the large concentration of tanners in the New England area of the United States. The current ownership was established in 1979 with its headquarters in Peabody, Massachusetts, USA, 18 miles North of Boston. The company has grown to become the largest wet-end chemical supplier in North America, serving the US and Canada, and establishing a subsidiary company in Mexico, Tannin Mexico S.A. de C.V. The company's expansion has recently included the acquisition of Marden-Wild of Canada along with its state of art manufacturing facility, as well as production of a select group of products in Asia. The product line has expanded to include a range of finish oils and waxes added to the already comprehensive line of wet-end fatliquors, fillers, resins, and waxes. In addition to expansion of its physical facilities, Tannin Corporation has expanded its focus to include sales and technical service around the world by utilizing a wide network of agencies and distributors. This network enables us to bring together the technical expertise of Tannin's team of technicians, coupled with world class products, and the logistical support needed to provide the world-wide leather industry the service required to establish a significant share of the market.
