Consulting on finished leather products

 

When anomalies are detected during the manufacture or use of a finished product, CTC intervenes to identify the causes and propose corrective measures. Our approach is akin to a thorough investigation, delving into the history of the product and incorporating a wide range of tests.

It includes visual and macroscopic observations, laboratory tests, and ageing procedures adapted to the nature of the problem encountered. 

 

Unique product expertise

CTC can help you analyse any problems you encounter. Our leather, footwear and leather goods experts work together to provide appropriate solutions, combining their knowledge of materials, product design, assembly techniques and conditions of use and transport.

The items are examined and analysed in detail or even disassembled, using a proven methodology.

The results of these investigations can be presented via:

  • A detailed report with photographs illustrating the tests carried out and the conclusions drawn.
  • A videoconference enabling us to answer our clients’ questions in real time.

We are committed to providing you with a clear, in-depth analysis of problems encountered.
