Step 1
Decide if Leather Product Manufacturing is the right industry to target
The Leather Product Manufacturing industry
The Leather Product Manufacturing industry encompasses businesses that transform animal hides into leather through the processes of tanning and curing. These businesses then fabricate this leather into various products, excluding apparel, which falls under a separate industry. Interestingly, this industry also includes manufacturers of similar products that use leather substitutes, such as rubber, textile, or plastic, in their production.
What businesses are included
This industry includes a wide range of businesses, from tanneries that process raw hides into finished leather to manufacturers of leather goods like footwear, handbags, belts, wallets, and upholstery. It also encompasses businesses that specialize in producing leather substitutes and using them to create similar products. For instance, a company that manufactures leather shoes and belts from tanned leather would undoubtedly fall under this category. However, a company specializing in manufacturing rubber boots or textile handbags would also be included, highlighting the industry's scope beyond traditional leather goods.
When targeting the Leather Product Manufacturing industry on LinkedIn, your search will automatically cover all related sub-industries. To maximize the relevance of your leads, you may want to exclude certain sub-industries that don’t align with your ideal customer profile.
Sub-industries included in Leather Product Manufacturing:
Which businesses are not included
While this industry covers a diverse range of leather and leather substitute products, it's important to distinguish it from businesses that utilize leather as a material but are not involved in its primary transformation or the manufacturing of the final product. For example, a clothing manufacturer using pre-tanned leather to produce leather jackets would not be categorized under this industry, as apparel manufacturing falls under a separate category. Similarly, businesses that primarily retail leather goods, such as shoe stores or handbag boutiques, wouldn't be included, as their focus is on selling rather than manufacturing. Understanding the distinction between leather manufacturing, apparel production, and retail is key to accurately classifying businesses within their respective industries.
