The history of the tannery began in 1960 with Tannery Rota and Mr. Jeronymo Kempe working as employee. In 1967, Mr. Jeronymo Kempe entered the Tannery Rota membership framework. A few years later in 1985, Mr. Jeronymo Kempe bought this Tannery, which happened to be called Tannery J. Kempe. It continued the production of cowhide and articles for saddlery.
