Internship Report on Azmir Leather Industry of Bangladesh

Abstract

Md. Mustafa Miah started a tannery business in Hazaribagh Dhaka. He started to collect rawhide from the local dealers’ and sells those to the well-established tanners. He began to make a profit and save it for the establishment of his own tannery. Finally, he built a 5 storied building in Hazaribagh and started his own tannery in 1977. He named the tannery Dilbahar tannery. At the time all the work of the tanning process was done manually. The finished leather was sold at the local market and to dealers. Then the tannery shifted to Savar. There are 113 tanneries in Bangladesh. Azmir Leather is one of them and this report is based on my internship in Azmir Leather Industry. Some tanneries produce leather and footwear but Azmir Leather produces different types of leather only. It is a 100% export-oriented tannery which is well known for its premium quality of leather. The report consists of eight chapters. In Chapter One, the introduction, and all types of methods were described.
