A+B Hides – Hides and skins for sale

Are you involved in producing general, heavy-duty, or high-end leather goods? Are you looking for raw material that can be reliably transformed into a luxury handbag or a wear-resistant car seat? A+B Hides is a Germany-based hide and skin company that facilitates your way of procuring the desired quality of raw material for leather products – all while knowing how your skins and hides have been sourced, stored, and prepared for delivery.

With a strong focus on quality assurance and reliability, we are well-positioned to serve European and overseas leather manufacturers. We take pride in operating multiple processing facilities and warehouses in Germany and implementing a system that eliminates the decomposition of hides and shipping delays.

Our leather hides for sale

At A+B Hides, we can deliver fresh and salted hides obtained from cows, heifers, and bulls raised in Germany. Fresh material is kept in our refrigerated warehouses for German and European leather producers, while salted options are the best preservation method for customers outside of the EU. Salting is our way to ensure you get the sought-after material quality, even if long-distance transportation is involved.

Multiple quality grades and weight categories are available for our bovine hides:

  • Cow. You can get cow hides for sale for the production of general leather goods across clothing and many other categories. They are the material of choice for a balanced combination of strength and flexibility.
  • Bull. Bull hides will have you covered if you’re looking for the toughest and thickest material. It has naturally phenomenal resistance properties and is unparalleled for protective gear or items meant to be exposed to plenty of use.
  • Heifer. Produce leather goods with a touch of delicateness, smoothness, and premium quality. Heifer skins are easier to process for their pliability and are an excellent fit for luxury and limited-supply items.

To turbocharge your processing stages, we also offer tanned material. Depending on the durability properties you seek and the ecological practices you uphold, you can buy hides as wet-blue or wet-white options. The tanning procedures are performed here in Germany.

Taking processing seriously

Bovine hides can be easily damaged and turned into waste during processing. That is why we do not spare any effort as soon as we obtain the meat production by-products from slaughterhouses and processors. All our skins and hides are guaranteed to be:

  • Quickly picked up from local processors
  • Cooled with ice
  • Individually inspected and trimmed
  • Categorized and marked with the animal’s relevant ear code
  • Carefully palletized and stored before shipping

To back up our quality claims and ensure you’re using the best material to manufacture cow skin leather products, we have all our processing facilities examined by SGS Germany on a monthly basis. In addition to that, we implement the Leather Working Group protocols and fully comply with European industry-relevant standards.
