Leather Coatings, Inc. was founded in 1981 by the late Jose R. Escobar, who dreamed of some day owning his own business.  He immigrated to this country from Cuba as a young man, alone.  Having left his family behind served to make him more determined to succeed and realized the American Dream.

Our late founder excelled in his studies as he pursued and achieved a masters degree in chemistry from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.  He attended school full-time and worked part-time jobs, saving what he could to help bring his family from Cuba to once again, be reunited in a free country.

Today, Leather Coatings, Inc. is recognized as a leader in the United States and abroad in the production of high performance products, specializing in leather finishes and leather care products, catering to manufacturers in all segments of the leather industry.  Our unparalleled customer services and top quality products are highly regarded and widely used in the belt, saddle, holster, boot and shoe sectors of the leather industry.

We, at Leather Coatings, Inc., share a deep sense of pride and continue our commitment in providing unsurpassed customer service and high-quality products, just as our late brother Jose established and demonstrated throughout his life.
