Cobija

What Cobija does

Cobija Industries is a privately held B2B OEM and private-label manufacturer of premium motorcycle protective apparel, headquartered and operating from Sialkot, Pakistan, founded in 1991. The company produces leather garments, textile garments, gloves, boots, bags, denim, thermal garments, and woven shirts through seven vertically integrated manufacturing units. Technology is rooted in conventional apparel manufacturing: in-house CAD/CAM pattern engineering, automated leather cutting, laser engraving, high-frequency welding for waterproof seams, and a five-stage quality control protocol. Output is CE-certified to EN 17092 (Level 1 and Level 2), manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system (recertified March 2026), and produced with REACH-aligned chemical handling for European export markets.

The business model is pure B2B. Cobija sells to established motorcycle apparel brands, emerging private-label players, and international distributors across 60+ countries, reaching an active base of 350+ clients. Pricing is quote-based with minimum order quantities varying by product (e.g., jackets from 50 units, gloves from 100 pairs, boots from 60 pairs, suits from 40 units). Lead times range from 4–8 weeks for bulk leather to 5–9 weeks for textile programs, with 2–4 weeks for sampling. Commercial demand is generated through the company B2B portal, catalog and quote requests, direct export-team outreach, and trade show participation including EICMA 2026 in Milan.

The company is founder/family-managed with no disclosed institutional, PE/VC, or public-market capitalization; growth has been funded internally. CEO Abrar Hussain leads the organization. Operating scope is global on the customer side while manufacturing remains concentrated in a single Sialkot campus, and the May 2026 inauguration of a seventh textile manufacturing unit signals the company's most recent capacity expansion. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
