Customers
in the leather industry have a new space that fosters relationships, business,
and knowledge which was designed based on an unprecedented model for the
sector: Leather Labs, a digital platform created by JBS Couros. The website
sells leathers to small and medium manufacturers and other audiences, providing
them with free online courses and technical support from specialists, as well
as information on skins, traceability, and sale of final products.
A
sample of this great project will be presented at Inspiramais Digital, on
January 26 and 27, in the exclusive space for Leather Labs, one of the sponsors
of the event. Register for Inspiramais at https://inspiramaisdigital.com.br/home/.

Leather
Labs was created to be a leather mall in Brazil, that is, supplying the public with
a wide choice of goods (from fur to finished products from social projects) and
services. The particularities of leather, its sustainability, and its transition
toward circular economy guided the creation of the platform, which is anchored in
dialogue, social issues supported by the tanning industry, and the approach to
the public.
Check
some resources Leather Labs will be showing in detail in their exclusive space at
