A legacy built
hide by hide

Built on Heritage. Driven by Innovation.

Founded in 1990 in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, Excel Exims was established by Mr. Zafar Manzoor with a vision to craft world-class finished leather and premium shoe uppers for global markets.

Through exceptional craftsmanship, uncompromising quality, and a customer-first approach, the company built lasting partnerships with clients across the world.

Today, the legacy is proudly carried forward by his four sons—Zeeshan Zafar, Zoheb Zafar, Zain Zafar, and Zia Zafar—who lead the tannery and manufacturing units with the same passion while embracing modern manufacturing practices. Their leadership has strengthened Excel Exims' global presence and positioned the company as a trusted partner for premium leather solutions.

One of Excel Exims' key strengths is its expertise in premium finished cow leather and cow leather shoe uppers—a specialized capability offered by only a handful of manufacturers in Northern India. Alongside its renowned buffalo leather production, this enables the company to deliver a broader range of high-performance leather solutions without compromising on quality, consistency, or craftsmanship.

At Excel Exims, we don't just manufacture leather—we build lasting partnerships through reliability, innovation, and excellence.
