Somalia is fast moving towards industrialisation and manufacturing plants are popping up around the major cities of the country, a fine example is this plant a fifteen -year-old manufacturing, distributing, wholesale and import/export company, the Bosaso Tannery processes wet salted, dry salted, wet blue, limed, pickled, and air/frame dried sheep and goat hides and skin. It has some of the highest quality natural skins on the planet.
Bosaso Tannery processes two kinds of hides and skins: wet blue and pickle. Natural chemicals are used in the production of the pickled variety.
The hides and skins are graded on a one to six scale. Lowest quality products are tiered according to a single (R), double (RR) or triple rejects system (RRR).
In total, daily turnover is 6,000 individual skins and 500 camel hides.
As of 2015, the company has moved toward ready-made leather production for eventual exportation to consumer markets in the Middle East, Europe and other areas.
