Description : Few ventures are as exciting as those pursued in an environment of continuous improvement and constant customer feed back. Those who aspire to the challenge of such opportunities and equip themselves accordingly are rewarded with rare success. One such story began in 1949,when one man dared to dream. Of taking Indian leather to the centrestage of the world leather industry. To a world, where fashion changed by the minute, and requirements in lesser time.

Mr. T Abdul Wahid established T. Abdul Wahid & Co. (TAW) in 1949,with a leased tannery in Madras. A remarkably short five years later, the company had emerged as the largest exporter of vegetable tanned leather to America and Europe, and wet blue skins to the Soviet Union. Came the seventies, and TAW diversified into finished leathers. Two ultra modern tanneries, outfitted with equipment from Europe, are capable of producing 2 million square feet every month. By the turn of the decade, TAW was supplying fine kidskin to reputed shoe manufacturers worldwide.
