PERRONE A E ROSPACE
LEATHER FOCUS
Perrone Aerospace outlines 10 ways a business can benefit from partnering
with a dedicated aviation performance leather and textile specialist
T
here are hundreds of leather
manufacturers around the globe,
but only a select few of these
develop and manufacture products
specifically for the aerospace industry.
“Many of our top competitors are highly
respected in aviation, but that is not where
100% of their business focus lies. We have
been doing this for many years, and a large
percentage of our team has a focused
background in aviation,” notes Bill Perrone,
president of Perrone Aerospace. “We have
also recognised the need for a high-quality
synthetic product, and being leather
people, our EnduraLite synthetic is as
close to leather as you can get.”
Aerospace calls for constant innovation
and, over the years, Perrone has proved to
be up to the challenge. From their dynamic
research and design teams, to product
development and quality lab testing, here
are 10 ways a business can benefit from
partnering with a dedicated aviation
performance leather and textile specialist
like Perrone Aerospace.
ENGINEERING
Perrone Aerospace understands that
weight, performance and durability are
critical deciding factors for airlines when
choosing seating materials. Featherweight
commercial genuine leather, a product
unique to the company, was one of the

concerns. It offers a 25-35% weight saving
in any application, performing with the
same strength and performance as
Perrone’s other full weight genuine
leather products.
Applying their knowledge of weight
savings to increasing demand, Perrone
created the lightweight EnduraLite
synthetic. This durable upholstery is made
with an inherently fire-retardant aramid
woven or knit backing and meets all FAA
requirements for burns, eliminating the
need for aftermarket FR treatment.
Like all of Perrone’s genuine leather
products, EnduraLite synthetic boasts
unsurpassed abrasion resistance with
proven in-service performance and
delivers a 100% improvement over
competitive products in a tongue-tear
strength test.
MAINTENANCE
When focusing on aviation, all aspects of
the business must be considered, including
cleaning and repair. With over 100 years
of experience in leather innovation, and
a leather maintenance division specifically
focused on refurbishment and repair, it
is safe to say Perrone is familiar with the
ins and outs of cleanability.
