New Light Tannery
(P) Ltd is the parent company of a group of companies founded in
1960 in the city of Kanpur. One of the major industrial centres
of India situated in the state of Uttar Pradesh on the banks of
the holy river Ganges.
The group started its business
with raw hide but soon diversified into the business of processing
vegetable tanned sole leather and harness leather. Slowly as the
business matured the product quality standards improved. The group
learnt its quality management lessons fast, so much so that by 1970s
the company was exporting its products to Middle East countries.
In the 80s the company entered
into the domain of shoe leather. With its new products, very soon
it was knocking at the doors of European markets. By early 1990s
with the onset of Indian government relaxed market policies the
group entered into the field of manufacture of shoe upper. In the
later part of the decade, the group sensing growing demands in the
European market, brought a new end product into its umbrella –
the footwear. By the turn of the century, the company further diversified
into upholstery leather.
And yet, over the last 40 years,
we are doing just what we had started with: building on our reputation
for quality, performance and durability in all our leather products.
CALICO is a export house recognized by the government
