About us

leatherbiz.com went live in November 2000 as the news portal to complement World Leather magazine. At the time, World Leather was 13 years old and was recognised as the leading international trade magazine for the leather industry. leatherbiz.com was launched so people could access the latest industry news, market intelligence, product information, event calendar and much more on a daily basis.

The site was an instant hit and the viewing statistics have increased rapidly each year. However, five years later leatherbiz.com needed to be improved and in August 2005 was re-launched, promising to bring even greater benefits to its valued customers.

The site is now more closely linked to the magazine since the introduction of the World Leather Technical and Business Management library, where all the features and business management articles published in World Leather can be downloaded for a nominal charge. The essential news service has a more user-friendly format, and for no cost at all you can scroll the latest news headlines, or pay a small fee to read the full story and receive our weekly e-newsletter.

A Technical Members Forum has been introduced where you can exchange ideas and find solutions or discuss topics of interest with other people in your business; and the directory has been updated allowing even more information about your products and services to be posted. Any recent launches or important company news can be showcased on the homepage using the inexpensive ‘Hot Topic’ advertisement space.

Companies can also post their job vacancies on the recruitment section, and last but not least the new layout has been designed to enhance your enjoyment of the site and hopefully make leatherbiz.com an even more efficient information site for its visitors.
