OVER A CENTURY OF
LEATHER HERITAGE.
Four generations of craftsmanship. One vision for the future.
What began as a family leather trading business in the nineteenth century has evolved into one of Pakistan's most diversified leather manufacturing groups.
Today, Sheikh of Sialkot combines generations of expertise with modern manufacturing, product development, and sustainability initiatives to serve customers around the world.
OUR STORY BEGAN WITH LEATHER
Before factories.
Before exports.
Before global supply chains.
There was leather.
Our family’s journey began in the early 1800s when Sheikh Allahditta established a leather trading business connecting Sialkot with Madras (present-day Chennai).
That trade laid the foundation for generations of entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, and innovation that continue to shape our business today.
Every generation expanded the business.
Every generation protected the values.
