Two paths into the San Martín story: become an agent representing the only Made-in-Spain LWG Gold tannery with stock + trend reports, or take an industrial stake in the operating company and the AI platform we're building on top.
You don't sell another supplier's leather. You represent the only Made-in-Spain tannery with stock, trend reports and a 1.000-brand network. Commission-based, no inventory risk, full support from Elda.
Third-generation Spanish tannery · €3M revenue · 15-20% EBITDA · zero debt · proprietary platform + Smart Leather Library AI. Open to industrial partners who can take a meaningful stake or bring strategic value.
A San Martín agent walks into every meeting with these four guarantees on the table. We don't need to oversell — we have the operations to back them up.
Express Classic line ready in 5 business days from order confirmation. Standard collections delivered in 3–4 weeks. Critical lots tracked individually by your dedicated account manager.
30+ Classic Express references always available from our Elda warehouse — no lead time anxiety. Plus 200+ seasonal articles in active stock during peak season. Your clients never wait.
Two seasonal collections per year (SS + FW) backed by 12 monthly material reports. Every article you sell comes with editorial direction, application guidance and the trend backstory.
Made-in-Spain quality at price points that compete with Italian and Eastern European tanneries. Tier pricing for volume, transparent quotes, no hidden surcharges. Margins your clients can actually work with.
San Martín is a third-generation Spanish tannery in Elda — Alicante's historic footwear valley. We finish goat, sheep and bovine leather for some of the most demanding brands in Europe, the United States and Asia.
What separates us from the bigger Italian tanneries: we still answer the phone, we still adapt finishes to your client's brief, and we still send swatches the same week. From volume orders to one-off prototypes — same workroom, same hands.
For an agent, that means three things you don't always get from your other suppliers: responsive operations, editorial story to bring to the meeting, and certifications your clients can show their sustainability committee (LWG Gold, INESCOP MyREACH, INESCOP Biodegradable, 100% green energy in our factory).
Five-minute form. We answer every application within 5 business days — even the ones where the territory is already taken (we'll keep your details for the next opening).

Third-generation Spanish leather house — €3M revenue, 15-20% EBITDA, zero debt, with a proprietary B2B platform and AI engine in development. We're not raising publicly. Open to industrial partners who can acquire a meaningful piece of the operating company or contribute strategic value to manufacturing, distribution or technology.
Full plant in Elda — pigmentation line, robotic spray finishing, in-house solar PV. We don't broker hides, we finish them. Production cost basis 30-40% under Italian peers, LWG Gold parity. That's the foundation moat.
tlsanmartin.com is a working B2B platform with auth, sample basket, catalog requests, gamification, lead attribution, multi-language i18n and full CRM admin. Tech stack we own — not Salesforce-rented.
Every article catalogued by family · finish · thickness · color · price tier. Every season palette extracted from PDFs. Every buyer interaction tracked + attributed. 5+ years of compounding archive that competitors can't reproduce.
Fashion AI cross-references runway + retail signals into actionable leather briefs. In-house AI moodboard engine, product restyle, palette-match between trends and our archive. The leather industry's first AI sourcing co-pilot.
Minority equity in the operating company. Use of funds: scaling EU sales team, accelerating Smart Leather Library AI build, opening a forward distribution node (Milan or Paris). Board observer seat available. Ideal fit: industrial group with adjacent manufacturing or fashion-tech experience.
Significant minority with real board seat and operational influence. Designed for industrial partners who want supply integration (footwear groups, luxury houses, retailers) and can bring channel access. Earn-out structures available.
Carve the AI + platform layer into a separate vehicle. Productise the Fashion AI engine for other tanneries + fashion brands as per-seat SaaS. Appetite for technical co-founders, fashion-tech operators, or strategic CVCs (textile / luxury parent groups).
Sign a one-page NDA and we share: P&L last 3 years · platform metrics · pipeline · cap table · 24-month roadmap. We reply in under 24 hours.
"In three years working with San Martín I've closed 14 new accounts in the United States. Half of them came because the materials told a story I could actually tell. The other half because their lead times made me look reliable in front of my buyers."

We read what your next collection needs, build the article around that brief, and ship a leather that already carries its story. Third-generation craftsmanship, augmented by data.
