Perrone Performance Leathers and Textiles offers two synthetic upholstery options to meet the needs of any project.
EnduraLite™ is Perrone Performance Leathers and Textiles’s premium synthetic offering. Featuring the look and feel of genuine leather with the added advantage of being 60% lighter than traditional leather, along with its industry leading durability and ease of maintenance. EnduraLite’s aramid backing cloth was specifically chosen for its intrinsic fire-retardant properties, removing the need for additional FR treatment which has been shown to contribute to corrosion.
EcoLite is Perrone Performance Leathers and Textiles’s lighter weight solution for price sensitive applications. Lighter than EnduraLite, EcoLite boasts the same industry leading qualities for durability and performance.
Perrone Performance Leathers and Textiles’s genuine leather products include three premium, high performance leathers. These products are engineered for unsurpassed durability, comfort, and service life while saving weight and increasing revenue opportunities.
Skyline Genuine Leather is aniline dyed. This style of lightly textured-enhanced grain is designed for added durability while filling the need for a more price sensitive application. A supple hand adds to the enrichment associated with high quality leather.
Featherweight Genuine Leather is one of the first products of its kind to be brought to the transportation market. It is 25% to 35% lighter than standard upholstery leather, resulting in increased payload and revenue while maintaining the strength and durability needed by rail customers. Featherweight’s durable topcoat allows for application of common disinfectant – 70% Isopropyl Alcohol.
Elite Genuine Leather uses the lightest possible finish application, providing superior physical performance and maintaining a soft, supple hand similar to that found on the finest full grain leathers.
Chrome Free Genuine Leather utilizes a “wet-white” tanning process, eliminating the use of chromium during production, and reducing harmful substance accumulation. Utilizing a natural by-product of the food industry, Chrome-free genuine leather offers a comparable eco-friendly alternative to traditionally tanned leather.
Over the last ten years, we have expanded on our environmental objectives, strategically aligning them with our business development plan. As a globally respected industry leader, we have assumed a long-term vision focused on efficiency, safety, and quality for our customers, society, and the planet while making strides towards increasing accountability for all.

We understand that everyone has a different strategy and timeline for reaching their sustainability goals, which is why we offer a variety of products designed to reduce our industry’s impact on the environment.
The Perrone Performance Leathers and Textiles design team offers many solutions to fully customize any project.
Embossing and debossing alter the product’s surface to transform a flat and ordinary material into a uniquely contoured, 3-dimensional pattern. Customized logos, branding, and use of foils are possible with these processes. Embossed and debossed products are further processed into finished goods and are quality control inspected.
Custom stitching and embroidery give your design a dynamic, 3-dimensional, and unique look. With the ability to product customized logos, pattern, and branding, custom stitching and embroidery offer full control over the finished product.
Four color printing allows for further customization of seat backs and bottoms, accent areas, headrest panels, and targeted branding.
Utilizing North America’s first laser guided water jet cutting system, specifically designed for cutting leather. With the worlds most precise cutting technology, we are able to reduce tolerances to within four thousandths of an inch, creating patterns that are more accurate than ever.
