It’s more than a company.
It’s an attitude.

hillmann. was founded in 1947 by Waldemar Hillmann as a company selling shoe upper leather, and since then has evolved into a corporate group that includes 3 companies. Today, hillmann. is one of the leading German distributors of finest real leather and fabrics for use in furniture, flooring, wall coverings and car interiors.

Our products reflect our aspiration to always offer our customers exactly what they need to create the most exclusive, unique products. Through our long-standing experience and individual consulting services, we create products that products that fascinate in cooperation with our partners in the furniture, car, decoration and interior design sectors.  

Despite our continuous growth, we continue to focus on personal contact with every single of our customers. Individual consultation, to us, is an essential cornerstone needed to offer the best possible service and meet the specific needs of our customers. This way, we create products that attach the utmost importance to the combination of high functionality and contemporary design.

Hillmann. keeps up with the times. Since 1947.

Quality is no coincidence. It’s the result of hard work.

hillmann. leathers are produced from selected, high-quality German and European rawhides, for which we only use the latest tanning processes and coloring methods. To protect our environment, many of our leathers are produced in tanneries that have been awarded with the German eco-label “Blauer Engel” (blue angel). Our close connection with selected tanneries allows us to create special articles and colorings that can be tailored exactly to our customer’s needs.

Our love for the small details shines through in all our products and makes them unique. We are able to create articles with a unique shape and color, such as design cowhides, but also produce standardized, highly functional industrial products such as our car leathers.

For our fabrics, we only purchase from cutting-edge weaning mills in Germany and the EU. This allows us to process finest yarn of the highest quality. Through this combination of premium properties and high aesthetics, we can meet demands for both visual attractiveness and best functionality.

Also incorporated into our product lineup are care products that have to meet highest criteria and have been created solely for use on hillmann. products. This allows us to guarantee the long lifespan of our products.

The best of two brands. Cooperation joins forces.

Since 2019, hillmann. has been concentrating on forging partnerships with strong brands both in Germany and abroad to complement our products lineup. Our focus lies with “future materials”, such materials that invest in the future and give positive impulses for our environment by being especially sustainable.

Piñatex and Felt

Our first cooperation began with the collection hillmann. x Piñatex. As a vegan fabric, Piñatex can be used in almost the same sectors as leather and therefore has opened our product lineup to customers who prefer plant-based materials over animal-based ones.

Sustainability continues to be our main focus for the future. With feline, we found a partner who embraces this topic: féline felts are produced without the use of water that is usually used in the felting process and thus protects our natural resources. Furthermore, we are delighted to be able to present your felts made entirely from recycled plastic bottles as a part of our collection.

You can expect more exceptional hillmann. products in the future. We will continue to walk the path that others have not treated on yet.
