SERVICE 01

Veterinary-Compliant Trophy Preparation

The preparation of trophies for export is governed by strict veterinary protocols designed to ensure biosecurity and safety across international borders. Within our facility, these standards are more than rules, they are the foundation of every step.

Each item undergoes preparation in full accordance with current veterinary requirements, ensuring it meets the expectations of regulatory authorities worldwide. From initial handling to final certification, every step aligns with recognized export standards, allowing trophies to move seamlessly through inspections and border controls without delay.

International Biosecurity & Export Standards

Our structured compliance approach ensures every trophy is eligible for international shipment without complication. The process is quiet, methodical, and precise — compliance achieved without compromising quality.

Thorough Treatment. Gentle Preservation.

The careful balance between complete sanitation and preserving the natural character of every trophy. Each piece emerges pristine, stable, and enduring — without ever losing what made it remarkable.

SERVICE 02

Professional Cleaning & Treatment

Every hunting trophy is defined by the precision of its cleaning and treatment. Upon arrival, each piece is carefully assessed before undergoing a thorough cleaning process designed to remove all residual matter, followed by targeted treatment protocols that address bacteria, parasites, and any potential contaminants.

The methods employed are both effective and controlled, ensuring complete sanitation while preserving the natural characteristics of the trophy. Texture, hair integrity, and structural quality are maintained throughout. It is the careful balance between thorough treatment and gentle preservation that defines true professional dip and pack preparation.

SERVICE 03

World-Class In-House Tanning Facility

Tanning represents a critical transformation, turning raw hides into durable, workable materials suitable for taxidermy. Within our facility, this process is carried out using advanced techniques and carefully managed systems, producing consistent, high-quality results across a wide range of African and international species.

Each hide is treated according to its specific characteristics, allowing for optimal absorption, flexibility, and strength. The result is a hide that retains its natural appearance while gaining the resilience required for mounting and displaying softness, durability, and longevity, all enhanced, ready for the hands of a skilled taxidermist.

Technical Expertise. A Commitment to Excellence.

Attention to detail remains constant throughout, with every stage monitored to maintain uniformity and quality. The result is a standard of tanning that reflects both technical expertise and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

From Preparation to Artistry — Seamlessly

For the taxidermist, this level of preparation provides a reliable foundation. It supports accuracy, enhances form, and contributes to a final mount that truly reflects the character of the animal. The transition from preparation to artistry becomes seamless.

SERVICE 04

Ready-to-Mount Hides & Professional Preservation

A well-prepared hide carries a distinct advantage, it allows the next stage of work to unfold without limitation. Careful fleshing, precise tanning, and proper finishing techniques combine to produce hides that are clean, stable, and easy to work with. Thickness controlled, softness optimized, structural integrity preserved.

Preservation is not a single step but a continuous process that runs through every stage of Dip & Pack. Storage conditions are carefully managed to minimise exposure to humidity, temperature fluctuations, and pests, ensuring each trophy remains in optimal condition well into the future.
