In a context where technical excellence must now go hand in hand with responsibility, the leather industry is undergoing a strategic transformation. Regulatory expectations are changing, international brands are raising their standards, and consumers are demanding greater transparency.
Faced with these changes, ATC has made a clear decision: to accelerate innovation towards cleaner chemistry.
A proactive, deliberate choice guided by our mission: to provide tanneries with reliable, high-performance, and sustainable solutions.
A clear vision: anticipate, protect, and improve
Anticipate regulations rather than suffer them
Providing tanneries with safe, responsible, and sustainable solutions

Our philosophy: effective and responsible chemistry
Our commitment to low bisphenol is not a one-off response or a simple adaptation: it is a long-term vision that guides our developments, our technical choices, and the way we support tanneries.
We have created low bisphenol products as well as Greentech products that are used throughout the leather design process.
The Greentech range – going further towards sustainable chemistry
Because environmental responsibility goes beyond bisphenols, ATC has also developed Greentech products, designed to:
reduce the carbon and chemical footprint,
use responsible or renewable raw materials,
propose alternatives with a lower impact,
support tanneries in a coherent and realistic ecological transition.
This dual approach—Low Bisphenol + Greentech—reflects our conviction: "Performance and sustainability are not opposites, but deeply complementary."
ATC, a committed partner for the leather of tomorrow
Retanning is evolving. Standards are becoming increasingly demanding. Audits are becoming more rigorous. Brands are demanding cleaner solutions.
With the ACTAN LB range, ATC is positioning itself as a trusted partner, capable of supporting tanneries in this essential transition.
Our goal is simple:to
s high-performance, sustainable, traceable, and compliant leather—without compromising on quality.
