Great Greenland A/S has own trading stations located in Upernavik, Maniitsoq, Tasiilaq and Nuuk, where procurement from local hunters takes place. In addition, the company operates a network of independent traders, who in even the smallest communities in remote regions purchase seal skins. Thus, it is possible to trade in seal skins in around 70 localities along the Greenlandic coast. After procurement the skins are transported by sea or air to the tannery. Tanning Tanning, conservation of skin, is an old trade that has been done for thousands of years. At Great Greenland many of the steps in the tanning process are automated, by investment in machines and technical plants, but the process still demands manual work and handling.
