For a few weeks, the tannery has been under construction. The old electric press will be replaced by a new more recent press next month.

Careful handling work has been undertaken to first lift and remove the old machine, and then to prepare the site for the new press. After several lifting operations, the floor showed some defects. A new screed and the evacuation of several tons of rubble, will allow a flawless and solid installation.

A beautiful renewal which allows to perpetuate the know-how of the tannery.
