Leather Industry & Arona Global Trade — Export-Quality Leather, Processed Skins & Finished Goods

​

The global leather market remains a durable, high-value sector serving fashion, footwear, accessories, upholstery, automotive interiors and industrial applications. Buyers demand not only premium looks and long wear but traceability, environmental compliance and reliable, scalable supply chains. India is a major player: a leading exporter of leather garments and goods with a well-developed value chain from raw hides through wet-blue, crust and finished leathers to stitched/assembled goods. 

​

India’s major leather producing hubs

​

India’s leather ecosystem is geographically diversified — clusters specialise by product type (finished leather, footwear, garments, saddlery) and processing stage (tanning, finishing, manufacturing). Key hubs include:

​

• Tamil Nadu — Vellore (Ambur, Vaniyambadi), Ranipet, Chennai and Trichy: major clusters for finished leather, footwear and leather goods, with a dense network of tanneries and ancillary suppliers. 

• West Bengal — Kolkata (Bantala leather complex / Calcutta Leather Complex): large tanning and finished leather production hub serving export markets. 

• Uttar Pradesh — Kanpur and Agra: historic leather and finished-leather manufacturing centers (footwear and belts). 

• Punjab & Haryana — Jalandhar, Ludhiana and nearby towns: footwear, sports goods and leather accessories. 

• Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh/Telangana — Bangalore, Hyderabad: leather goods, components and footwear manufacturing.

• Maharashtra & Gujarat — Kolhapur (traditional leather goods), growing manufacturing/assembly units and export trading houses.

​

These clusters benefit from specialised labour pools, supporting factories (dyeing, cutting, stitching), logistics hubs (ports and freight partners) and government export promotion initiatives. 

​

Arona Global Trade — our sourcing edge

​

Arona Global Trade leverages deep, on-the-ground relationships across India’s clusters to supply export-quality processed skins, semi-finished hides and finished leather goods:

​

• Direct tannery partnerships: long-standing contracts with LWG-aware and CLE-registered tanneries across Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh ensure access to wet-blue, crust and finished leathers in full-grain, top-grain, suede and specialty finishes. (We can provide LWG / environmental compliance certificates on request.

• Regional buying teams: locally embedded procurement teams in Chennai, Kolkata and Kanpur enable rapid quality checks, pre-shipment inspections and consolidated shipments from multiple micro-suppliers.

• Quality assurance & finishing: in-house QC protocols plus third-party lab testing (physicals, colour fastness, chrome/metal checks) to match buyer specifications—from fashion accessory grade to automotive-grade hides.

• Supply chain & logistics: consolidation hubs near major ports, experience managing export documentation (CLE guidance, export licensing, phytosanitary and customs clearances) and relationships with freight forwarders for sea/air shipments.

• Product breadth: full-grain & top-grain cow and buffalo hides, goat/sheep skins, suede, finished leather for footwear, garments, upholstery, belts and small leather goods; also bespoke finishing and OEM assembly for private labels.

Sustainability, compliance & traceability

​

Global buyers increasingly require environmental and social safeguards (wastewater treatment, chrome management, worker safety, and traceability). Arona works with tanneries that adhere to international benchmarking and can facilitate LWG-verified suppliers, third-party audits and testing certificates to meet buyer compliance and retailer codes of conduct.
