Our History Timeline
Humble Beginnings
Littlewood Corp was founded as a small manufacturing unit, supplying high-quality weightlifting and motorbike gloves to a single international client in the USA.
Vertical Integration: Leather Tannery Established
To ensure full control over material quality and production standards, Littlewood set up its own leather tannery. This milestone allowed us to produce even higher quality leather gloves and scale production more efficiently.
Expansion into Leather Apparel & New Markets
We expanded our product line to include leather jackets and began exporting to the USA and UK. With a growing number of international clients, Littlewood solidified its position as a trusted exporter of premium leather goods.
Breakthrough in Technical Apparel
Littlewood ventured into the production of leather racing suits and jackets. This move into complex and technical products established us as a leader in high-performance leatherwear, meeting rigorous global safety and protection standards.
Textile Revolution & Market Diversification
As global demand grew, Littlewood diversified into manufacturing textile motorcycle apparel. This broadened our reach and enabled us to serve a wider spectrum of riders. We also launched a new production facility focused on ultra-protective leather suits and gloves for race drivers.
Workwear & Safety Gloves Segment Launched
Backed by two decades of expertise in protective gear, Littlewood began manufacturing advanced workwear and safety gloves, catering to industries requiring high standards of protection and durability.
Digital Transformation & Capacity Expansion
We invested heavily in expanding our production facility, introducing advanced machinery and transitioning to digital systems. Upgrades included improvements in quality assurance, sorting, packing, and speed of production—enhancing both efficiency and output.
