East Longmeadow, MA – W.F. Young, Inc., makers of Absorbine® products, is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Leather Therapy® brand and complete product portfolio. The company is proud to welcome the line of quality leather care products to its family of trusted brands.
Leather Therapy products, developed and marketed by Unicorn Editions, Ltd., is an award winning brand in the leather care category.

Young brings to the market,” says Chris Jacobi, General Manager, Equine Division at W.F. Young. “The performance, quality, and innovation behind Leather Therapy products are well in alignment with our company’s standards, and we look forward to integrating them into our own trusted brand names.”
