Leather by Wollsdorf
WOLLSDORF - World market leader for steering wheel leather covers. Did you know that we are the world market leader in steering wheel leather?
”More than 60 percent of our processed hides are converted into leather steering wheel covers. Ultimately, this means that, thus far since 1990, 60 million drivers have held a leather steering wheel by Wollsdorf Leather in their hands. Even after all these years we continue to improve the quality of our leather products through innovations and cutting-edge technologies – regardless of the model, size or type of leather.
Besides steering wheels, car seats are the most worn leather part in the interior of the car. It is important that car upholstery leather for seats continues to adapt to the shape of the body for years to come – and remains supple just as on the first day. We therefore manufacture car leather seat covers in Nappa smooth but also in required embossing structures and perforations.
Car leather seats can heat up in the summer due to high ambient temperatures or direct insolation. Our COOL leather counters this problem: When exposed to direct insolation, this unique layer reduces the heating of the leather by up to 20°C compared to conventional automotive leather.”

Threads by Amann
''Serafil is a sewing and embroidery thread made from polyester continuous filament. The single yarns are made of endless fibres (filaments) for continuous filament threads. Partially, up to 200 single filaments make up a single yarn (continuous filament). Thanks to their construction, continuous filaments have a smooth, glossy surface and a consistent thread character. Furthermore, they display a very high breaking strength and abrasion resistance.''
