Pearl Leather Mexico S.A. de C.V.

Información

Pearl Leather was founded in 1976 in Johnstown, New York, an area rich in leather history on the outskirts of New York State’s famed Leatherstocking Region. Carmen Ruggiero started his business as a side leather contract finishing operation for the garment, shoe and furniture trade, and soon he and his son John had built a thriving company that supplied leather for many name brand products. The advent of NAFTA changed the industry. To survive, Pearl had to define a new niche. So in 1995, with Carmen as chief executive office and John as president, Pearl entered the automotive seating market as a Tier 3-4 supplier of finished leather to both original equipment and after-market seating manufacturers. Today Pearl’s 200,000 square foot manufacturing facility is a state-of-the-art plant with 130 employees. With current finishing capacity at 35,000 whole hides per week, Pearl has become one of the largest suppliers of automotive leather in the world.
