The name of the award comes from a pioneer of leather science, Ed Weiss, who was hired by Dr Stanley Buckman to take microbicide products into the leather industry in the USA and help solve some of the preservation problems experienced by tanners. His efforts would eventually span the globe, and leather would become a core business segment for Buckman.
