About us

Star Leather Industries Private Limited (SLI) was founded in 1991 by Mr. Muhammad Shahid, the Founder & CEO of the company. With a keen vision and entrepreneurial spirit, Mr. Shahid has led SLI to become one of Pakistan’s leading leather manufacturers and exporters of premium finished leather and leather gloves. Star Leather Industries operates a large-scale production facility with a fully integrated in-house process, transforming raw hides into premium finished leather. Our advanced manufacturing capabilities enable us to produce an impressive 8.5 million sq. ft. of leather annually while maintaining the highest industry standards. We export our leather goods to major international markets, including Italy, Japan, Vietnam, Portugal, Spain, Germany, and China.

Our expert leather technologists and quality control specialists work meticulously to ensure that each batch of leather meets the highest standards of aesthetics, functionality, and durability. We offer a diverse range of leather categories, each with specialized types, including suede, patent, napa, aniline, and nubuck leather. These premium leathers are crafted to meet the demands of industries such as fashion, footwear, gloves, and accessories.

In addition to leather manufacturing, we operate a dedicated production unit for industrial safety gloves, using premium leather from our tannery and advanced PPE technology. Our leather gloves are designed with features such as cut resistance, TPR impact protection, heat resistance, oil-repellent coatings, and advanced linings like Thinsulate and Kevlar, ensuring maximum safety and performance across various industries.

Mission

To deliver superior leather products that exceed customer expectations, while expanding into new industries with integrity, innovation, and a focus on sustainable growth.

Our Journey: From Humble Beginnings

What began as a small production unit has now evolved into a large-scale manufacturing facility with expertise built over decades. Since 1992, Star Leather Industries has specialized in producing the finest upper and lining leather for footwear, establishing itself as one of Pakistan’s largest manufacturers in this field. Through continuous refinement of our tanning processes and a deep understanding of leather craftsmanship, we have earned the trust of our global clients.

In 1995, as our operations expanded, we ventured into producing bag and garment leather, leveraging our expertise to cater to the growing fashion industry. This move enabled us to diversify further and solidify our reputation for quality and innovation across multiple sectors. As we continued to grow, we recognized the increasing demand for protective work gear and expanded into the safety gloves industry. By utilizing leather from our tannery, we manufacture working gloves for industrial applications worldwide. To meet the rising demand, we have strengthened our capabilities by enhancing our production infrastructure, allowing us to optimize efficiency, expand capacity, and maintain the highest quality standards in glove manufacturing.
