01About

A leather trading house with an international outlook

Formula Emblematic was founded in Lisbon in 2014 and specialises in the import and export of leather. We work with suppliers and buyers in different countries and handle the whole commercial process between them.

Our office is in Lisbon and our warehouse in Alcanena, the historic heart of Portugal's tanning industry. Our clients are tanneries and footwear, leather-goods and apparel makers who need reliable leather and a single point of contact to buy or sell across borders.
