Australia is
a vast country marked by large variations in climate
and geography. This diverse environment stretches to
include the arid north, tropical coastal areas and cooler
southern states.
Northern Australia receives most of its rain in summer
while Southern Australia receives most in winter – being
more typical of a Mediterranean climate. Closely associated
with these climates are Australia’s vegetation
patterns, which move from rich vegetation along the coast
to the arid interior. The north of Australia is characterised
by an essentially tropical environment, whereas the southern
environments are more temperate.
Within the Hide and Skin Industry, AIT has continuously
been at the forefront of the development of processing
plants across Australia. With the centre of operations
located in Sydney, AIT has built up a substantial network
of processing divisions in all major Hide and Skin producing
regions - Southern Queensland, Central/Northern NSW,
Southern NSW, Victoria and South Australia.
Each AIT production facility is designed to specialise
according to the Hides and Skins prevalent in each region
so that quality across all products is of a consistently
high standard, whilst giving customers access to a unique
and varied resource base. |

Differences in
climate, topography and vegetation allow for the existence
of a variety of breeds and qualities of Hides and Skins.
