My Business

My business's name is soft leather products where we deal with manufacturer of quality leather. My main source of raw materials is local slaughter houses.
Our company operates form Saika Omega. Our sales account to major sources of funding for the production process.
The business is profitable because there are few of such who manufacture leather. However small scale we are, we are looking forward to expanding it in future subject to availability of funding.
The potential for growth in Kenya’s leather industry is considerable. The government estimates that value addition could more than double the current earnings to ksh 9 billion. The country has in recent years produced over two million hides (mainly cattle, with some camel) and around four million skins (goats and sheep).
