LEATHER SERVICE CENTRES
Leather is regarded as one of the most earliest and useful discoveries of man as our forefathers used leather to protect themselves from the elements. Aboriginals used to hunt wild animals for food and then made clothing, shoes and plain natural tents from the hides. About half of all leather produced in this era is used to make footwear, and roughly 25% for clothing, whereas Upholstery requires as low as around 15% of the total product.

stories
I was raised in a middle-class family with a single bread earner. My father was an honest Govt. servant and could hardly afford our education. One of his fried advised to get me an admission in Institute of Leather Technology Gujranwala. Back in 1993 I got admitted in ILT and right after graduating in 1996 started my first job in a tannery situated at Sialkot. With a meager salary of 2500 PKR, I opened my career, kept struggling, kept upgrading my education, and continued rising. Today I am a known marketer in the town, have traveled plenty of countries abroad, and this all began from ILT. The admission of my son; the next generation at ILT is a proof of humble gratitude that I pay to TEVTA. I am Hafiz Badar Munir.
When I joined ILT Kasur, my family was already engaged in leather industry. After accomplishing my degree, I made a lot of reengineering and restructuring at my family run business. The clientage increased surprisingly, production improved without hiccups, and the profits raised exponentially. Consequently, my family bestowed me the seat of managing director, and today they are proud of their decision. And I am thankful to Almighty Allah, and ILT to make me what I am today.
