Entreprise du patrimoine vivant

As a French Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV – living heritage company), our tannery takes great pride in upholding the values of excellence and preservation of generational craftsmanship that characterize our profession. While this accreditation is an honor, it is also the recognition of our commitment to safeguard and continue to pass on, from generation to generation, rare knowledge and skills that form an invaluable part of France’s artisanal and industrial heritage.

This certification is a testament to the blend of ancestral and innovative techniques that define us and the longevity of our knowledge and skills, which are continuing to flourish due to our uncompromising efforts. Being an EPV tannery also means being dedicated to training future generations, to ensure that our heritage continues to thrive and evolve over time, without ever lowering the standards of excellence we embody.

Hides for artisans and professionals

Established in 1903, from the outset, the Alran tannery specialised in tanning lamb and goat hides, largely for the shoemaking industry.

From the 1980s onwards, we developed additional expertise in order to meet demand from other industries such as leather goods and fashion accessories, as well as artisanal trades such as leather wrapping and book binding. 

Our leathers are highly durable and available in an extensive color palette making them an excellent choice for exceptional artisans who turn them into even more beautiful creations. 

Our commitments

As a venerable local establishment nestled in the heart of the Montagne Noir mountain range (Black mountains), in the Haut Languedoc Regional Natural Park, we believe it is our duty to safeguard both our natural and industrial heritage.

We strive to uphold a number of commitments regarding the quality of our raw materials, preservation of our natural environment and respectful treatment of our teams. To this end, we have acquired a variety of certifications and accreditations.
