Norilia Nordic handles a significant number of Swedish hides
Quality bovine hides and ovine skins from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden
Annually, Norilia Nordic sells approximately 500,000 cattle hides, and 1,000,000 sheep and lamb skins from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. All of our hides and skins are known to be of very high quality. They are refined and sold separately depending on the country of origin. Our hides are fully traceable at every stage from farm to tannery, and our skins from abattoir to tannery.
Professional and modern refinement of our quality Scandinavian hides and skins
To ensure that our customers receive quality products, significant investments have been made at the production facilities where our hides and skins are refined: Norilia's hide plant in Skjeberg, Norway, and Himmerlandskød's hide plant in Rødkjærsbro in mid-Jutland, Denmark. Shortly after pulling, hides are chilled to just above freezing. The hides remain continuously chilled until they reach the hide plant in Skjeberg. Here, hides are trimmed, graded, and, when relevant, salted. Our skins are also removed with a hide puller and immediately drum salted in the abattoir. Grading of skins takes place at Skjeberg.
