Founded in 1969, Conceria Tris initially specialized in equine skins. Starting from a covered area of 1500 square meters and then extending more and more, it has become, in a few years, the reference tannery in Europe for horse skins, with a basic monthly production of 1700 square meters.
Subsequently, Conceria Tris expanded its offer to include cow hides, in order to extend the range of items to colored and silk-screened items, which are in great demand all over the world. The expansion of the offer in a few years allowed the two founding partners, Palmerino Bortoli and Silvano Peretti, to increase the number of employees from about twenty to over sixty.
However, the seasonality of the hair leather market required to further enrich the offer and, in the 1980s, Conceria Tris introduced the grain leathers for leather goods, footwear and furnishings into its portfolio. Thanks to this last operation, Conceria Tris expanded to  reach 20.000 sqm of buildings.

Among the new processed leathers, Conceria Tris undoubtedly stood out for the Athene article, conceived and developed internally and immediately the subject of many attempts at imitation. Even today the original Athene article by Conceria Tris is among the most appreciated by brands not only for its characteristics of transparency and naturalness, but also because, just like wine that improves with time, so Athene becomes more lovable with use.
