The supplier behind the next-gen material based on apple pulp
Danish company. German production line. USDA certified biobased since 2024. Formerly Beyond Leather Materials.
More than four million tons of apple pulp come out of juice and cider pressing every year. Pressing leaves 25 to 30 percent of the fruit behind. For the producer that is a disposal cost.
We have been turning it into a material since 2017. 1.8 kg of apple pulp goes into every square meter of Leap. It is backed with a textile, coated, produced on a full line in Germany, and it ships in 1.4 m usable width.
We are not a fashion brand. We supply the material and the fantastic brands create beautiful final products made with Leap.
We have been working on Leap Materials since 2017. Leap is a new material, apple pulp turned into a next-gen material. We spent most of those years developing the material and building the supply chain behind it. In 2024 our first production line went live and we became a material supplier.
I grew up in a family hotel in Germany. Sixth generation. You learn early that service is not something you announce. It is whether people can rely on you and that you go the extra mile for your customers. I brought that with me.
What people make with Leap is the point. Our job is to give designers a material worth building their best work on, and get the basics exactly right. That the roll you get in March matches the roll you got in October. That the lead time we quote is the lead time you get.
That is the job now. Same quality, on time, every time.

Certificates, test reports and technical data sheets are on our resources page.
Most of our customers arrive with a product already designed and a supplier they are not fully happy with. The path from there is short.
You tell us the application. We send the lines that fit, not the full catalog.
You test against your own standards. We do not ask you to trust ours.
Orders run from our German line. You get a lead time and a batch reference.
The point of a production line rather than a workshop is that batch six looks like batch one.
If you supply a segment we have not built for yet, tell us. Several of the things Leap does now exist because a customer asked whether it could.
What we already build for: Furniture & Upholstery, Bags & Accessories.
