The F.E.C.N.A. Filière Excellence Cuir Nouvelle-Aquitaine 

A public/private partnership that preserve cattle welfare and improve its breeders’ living conditions for a perfect leather.

The Filière Excellence Cuir in Nouvelle-Aquitaine (known as F.E.C.N.A) was created in 2020, to lay the technical and economic foundations for a sector of excellence in meat, leather, and regional development. It accompanies and technically supports the breeders, to develop regional products in the meat sector while recycling a maximum of raw materials to limit waste but also to maintain and boost employment.

To achieve this, the F.E.C.N.A. is based on four pillars:

  1. A unique partnership bringing together the players in the meat and leather sectors.
  2. Setting up the individual traceability of hides with the creation of an information system to provide quality feedback to breeders.
  3. The implementation of technical and sanitary protocols on the farms.
  4. Raining for technicians from production organizations and abattoirs.

The long-term goal is to ensure a better distribution of income generated by leather to all stakeholders.

Tannerie de Chamont is one of the key players in this innovative and ethical project for the leather sector and its ecosystem.
