Strategic Partnership between Smit & Zoon and BioProTech Italia S.r.l. to jointly drive sustainability in the leather value chain

13 October 2020


Activities of BioProTech in this field (Atoxitan® and their tanning products based on zeolite derivates) are fully consolidated into the business of Smit & Zoon Group.

This partnership brings together the multi-year knowledge and expertise on a range of patented aluminosilicate and zeolite technologies from both companies. It will create a strong platform for the leather industry, providing an alternative tanning technology based on zeolites, which is sustainable, produces quality leathers and offers operational advantages.

Smit & Zoon recognizes the efforts of Mr. Marco Robbiati and his team in developing zeolite tanning agents (Atoxitan®) during the past years.

Effective immediately all questions and topics related to former BioProTech Atoxitan® products and services, should be directed to Mr. P. Wilgenburg at Smit & Zoon (pim.wilgenburg@smitzoon.com) or to your regular contact within Smit or Codyeco.
