Over the last few years, Leather News has grown into a platform where thousands industry professionals come to stay updated on what’s happening across the global leather and allied industries.
Today, we publish daily industry news and updates here, share key developments through our LinkedIn page and deliver our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Roundup, every Sunday at 11 AM directly to subscribers’ inboxes.
Recently, our LinkedIn community crossed 10,000 followers and today our total LinkedIn audience stands at more than 17,000 followers.
But I felt something was still missing.
While our website, LinkedIn page and newsletter help professionals stay informed, I wanted to create something more immediate. A place where industry news, market developments and opportunities can reach people as they happen.
That is why I am launching the Leather News WhatsApp Community, Click here to join
Inside the community, members will receive daily leather and allied industries news, updates, market insights, trade data in real time.
The community is built for leather manufacturers, footwear and leather goods producers, garment and gloves manufacturers, tannery owners, leather chemical brands and suppliers, machinery brands, exporters, importers and traders.
It is also open to anyone who simply wants to stay updated on what is happening across the global leather industry.
Privacy remains important. Your WhatsApp number will remain hidden from other members and will only be visible to community administrators.
Looking ahead, we may also create dedicated sub-groups within the community where members can promote their businesses, products and services, share industry-related questions and learn from each other.
Many people said Leather News would not work when I first started it.
Today, the platform has generated more than 2.52 million views in 2025, grown to over 6,000 newsletter subscribers and built a LinkedIn audience of more than 17,000 followers.
The WhatsApp Community is the next step in that journey.
If you are part of the global leather ecosystem and want industry news and updates delivered instantly, I invite you to join us.
