Our story begins with a man and an idea that defines the American Dream. On February 4, 1947, Goodman Tasman, better known to his friends as "Goodie", started a cattle hide processing company in Louisville, Kentucky. Upon depleting the remaining finances of his G.I. bill, Goodman ran the first weeks production yielding only four hides. In the years that followed, Goodman and his youngest son Norman watched their family operation flourish as the production of four hides increased to the current Tasman production of approximately 160,000 hides per week, making us the largest independent cattle hide processor in the world. Since our founding in 1947, Tasman Industries has become a global leader in the cattle hide and finished leather business by emphasizing a commitment to producing the finest salted hides and finished leather in the world. Our desire to constantly innovate and our dedication to our clients are what motivate us. The Tasman family is devoted to ensuring the satisfaction of all our clients and supplying the best quality products available. Products we are proud to call "TASMAN." In February, of 2011, the Tasman Family purchased the formerly known Prime Tanning in Hartland, Maine, making this the company's 2nd Tannery in the USA and the completion of their vertical integration in the Leather industry. With the addition of our tannery business, finished leather goods and Tasman Natural Pet and Thoroughbred Leather lines our company has grown to encompass a multitude of products with offices and operations spanning four countries and distribution throughout the globe.
