Why This Leather Company Bought a Tannery to Scale

from Scaling Up with Fexingo: How Small Businesses Become Mid-Market Companies · host Fexingo

Most small businesses think scaling means more marketing or bigger facilities. For Hollow Leather, the breakthrough came when they stopped outsourcing leather supply and bought their own tannery. This episode breaks down how vertical integration boosted margins, gave them supply chain control, and took revenue from $4 million to $12 million in three years. We walk through the numbers, the risks, and why this move isn't just for manufacturing giants. #HollowLeather #VerticalIntegration #SupplyChain #ScalingUp #BusinessStrategy #SmallBusiness #MidMarket #LeatherGoods #Tannery #Ohio #Manufacturing #MarginImprovement #GrowthStory #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Scaling #Entrepreneurship #B2B Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
