Tradition, expertise and innovation are our central values. I proud myself of having started in the leather export business right at its inception in Brazil, when I joined, in 1983, the company my grandfather, Omar Kindlein – a legitimate self-made man, my role model – had founded many years ago.

Learning about the business as from the basics, from quality control and all leather-making technical aspects, to being in charge of accounts in several markets like the USA, Canada, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, South Korea and China, was the best possible way of growing, both as a person and as a professional.

Through attending international leather shows like Semaine Du Cuir in the 1980s, and Asia Pacific Leather Fair as from early 1990s, I have learned how to deal in different cultures, and about the specific characteristics of each market.

At the same time, this experience of more than 35 years sourcing a wide range of leathers for different end-uses like shoes, bags, leather goods, furniture and automotive, aligned with being up-to-date with all new finishes and trends, make Target Leathers an excellent choice for all your leather requirements.
