Chief Executive Officer of Inter Leather SL since 2015 and Sole Administrator of Imagina Compañía de Pieles SL since 2012, José holds responsibilities in both commercial and internal areas. He took over the leadership in 2014, succeeding his father, Juan Gallés Villaescusa, who had guided the company through the transformation the leather sector underwent in previous years. With a strategic vision that integrates technology, environmental responsibility, and collaboration, José Gallés Fuster leads the evolution of a family business with over 80 years of history in the tanning industry—one that today combines tradition, craftsmanship, products, services, and digitalization.
A company dedicated to the leather and hides sector since 1989, combining tradition and innovation in processes, digitalization, circularity, and pre- and post-sales services. It oversees the entire tanning process and offers additional leather treatments, ensuring that its products can be supplied for all types of applications—not only in compliance with the most advanced certifications, but also with a contemporary aesthetic. The company has strengthened its commitment to sustainability, earning Leather Working Group certification in 2023, and has enhanced collaborations with academic institutions, technology centers, and companies such as WGSN. The organization operates across the national market and opened a B2B showroom for professionals in the Moragas building, winner of the FAD Award in 2024. In 2025, it signed an agreement with ESDi (Ramon Llull University) to promote education and innovation in fashion and leather design.
