Muirhead supply high performance leather to the contract and office seating industry. Their heritage can be traced back to 1758 when the founder John Muirhead began to export glove and chamois leather to America. Following this came the production of glue from animal skins. In 1820 James his son took over the business followed by Andrew James’s son in 1840. In 1870 the Company changed its name to Andrew Muirhead and Sons and began to provide quality leather for upholstery, luggage and shoes. This carried on until the 1960’s when the demand for upholstery leather overshadowed all other applications. In 1968 the Company became Andrew Muirhead and Co. Today the Company provides high quality leather to the office furniture marketplace as well being the leading supplier to the airline sector. They also have a specialist automotive and marine division. Popular ranges of leather include the Argyll, Elgin and Ingleston ranges
