New Horizons Limited, the first ISO 9002 certified Indian leather work glove unit and one of the largest manufacturer-exporter of leather gloves from India has been going from strength to strength in the international market over the last two decades. Established in 1976, the company was formed when three qualified individuals converged to become partners with their previous experience in leather and leather manufacturing industries. What emerged was a professionally managed organization focused in the manufacture of superior-quality leather work gloves, finished leather, textile/leather-work garments and other personal protective equipment made of leather aimed totally towards exports. Ever since its inception, the company has been maintaining a steady position as one of India’s leading manufacturer-exporter of leather safety articles and work-garments. The company now has manufacturing facilities for leather and leather work gloves at Calcutta and contract manufacturing of leather in Chennai. Despite being quite big, the company is one of the few glove manufacturers of India which enjoys owning a thoroughly organized set-up with total vertical integration right from raw-hides to leather gloves. The total sales turnover of the company for 1999 was USD 9.85 million. A total of about 1200 persons are employed in the various factories and offices located in Calcutta, Chennai, Delhi, Ahmedabad & Kanpur.
