Tiivistelmä
The goal of this thesis was to develop a new product in the leather industry which is yak leather and the production process for the company Kokkolan Nahka Oy. The main products are Nordic elk and deer for the company Kokkolan Nahka Oy. Most popular product is Nordic elk (Moose).
Elk provides a limited supply of raw material because the hunting of moose is under strict control of the government. Mostly elk is hunted for the meat and to keep the elk population at a sustainable level is why it is under control by the government. Kokkolan Nahka Oy is not getting a sufficient supply of raw materials to produce elk leather and to execute a continues production process, therefore, they started producing yak leather as their production process is almost the same.
The product development and continues production process has been worked out as well and included into the current work to complete the author´s goal to produce yak leather and to improve the production process. The work was planned in the way to provide information and documentation about the yak leather and the production process.
