History
Quil Ceda Leather Co. was founded in 1932 by Mathias Jansha when he brought his skills as a tanner from his native home in Austria to America. He settled in Marysville, Washington and established Jansha Tanning, wholesale and retail business, that has continued in operation at the same location for over 60 years. In 1981 the business name was changed to Quil Ceda Leather Co. when a group of the most experienced staff of Jansha Tanning assumed ownership of the business. Today, the owners have more than 80 years of experience in leather tanning and production of leather products.
