Further reasons have emerged for a shift in production from the Tuzla tanning cluster in Turkey to the one at Bursa, 100 kilometres away.
The Tuzla leather cluster was the first of a whole series of modern leather manufacturing clusters that the authorities in Turkey have established in the twenty-first century.
Tuzla was picked for its proximity to Istanbul. It is around 40 kilometres from the city’s Taksim Square to the Tuzla site.
Earlier this year, tanners complained that higher labour and water-treatment costs in the region around Istanbul were making leather production at Tuzla too expensive, prompting a number of manufacturers to concentrate on Bursa instead.
Now an even more pressing financial incentive for making this move has emerged. The space that leather manufacturers have acquired at Tuzla is in demand and tanners have begun renting out their buildings there to logistics operators and to companies in other manufacturing sectors.
Because it makes financial sense for tanners to rent out their facilities in Tuzla and move their own production to Bursa, current production output there has increased to 1,300 tonnes of wet blue hides per day, with industry commentators saying this is increasing day by day.
