Namskins (Pty) Ltd is a joint venture company between Hartlief Corporation Ltd and Nakara Tannery in Namibia. Raw, salted sheep skins from the Mariental Abattoir are processed at the Nakara Tannery facilities. The skins are treated with chemicals to remove the hairs and then fleshed to open up the grains. Sorted skins are pickled in drums and exported to overseas markets.
