The leather goods market in India has seen steady growth due to rising disposable income, a fashion-conscious middle class, and the popularity of luxury brands. Addinng on to this is the rapid technological advancements and improved manufacturing processes that have enhanced product quality and variety. The global market has expanded significantly due to the demand for premium products, increased consumer spending on fashion accessories, and the rise of e-Commerce. Some recent emerging trends include a focus on sustainability in leather sourcing, advanced processing technologies, and greater customization and personalization. Established in 1981, AH Group of Companies specializes in top-notch leather products, offering end-to-end manufacturing and merchandising solutions. The company is well known for its innovations and exceptional craftsmanship, supported by sustainable practices.
Beginning as a tannery and shoe upper manufacturer, AH Group of Companies quickly expanded to full-scale shoe manufacturing. This led to the establishment of the Goodyear Welted division, followed by a partnership with the Italian company SGM Suolificio for sole production. The attainment of SA 8000 certification demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility. Consequently, the firm moved into leather accessories manufacturing and became a member of SATRA. It also opened another unit called M+L in collaboration with the UK heritage company Loake Shoemakers. The AH Group started their own brand ‘Language’ for the Indian market and has since expanded internationally to countries like UAE and Mexico.
The other two international brands under them are ‘Moral Code’ which focuses on US and the Japanese market. ‘Milwaukee Boot Company’ which focuses on the US market. In 2023, they began expanding their production of non-leather footwear, focusing primarily on sneakers for brands such as Skechers and USPA. Over the years, the company has been awarded ISO 9001-2008, ISO 14001-2004, OHSAS 18001, and LWG certifications for its tanneries, making it one of the global leaders in leather manufacturing and trading.
