What We Do

PRECISION AT EVERY STEP

UPPER MANUFACTURING

Uppers for global and domestic brands: waterproof, moccasins, back-to-school and sandals.

LEAN SYSTEMS

One-pair flow, supermarket trolleys, costing per standard minute and a dedicated Work Study team. Pressure on systems, not people.

FULL-SHOE CAPABILITY

Beyond uppers, we offer complete shoes on cemented lasted and injection-moulded lines.

EXCELLENCE.

ABOUT TMZ SHOES

Our workforce and staff moved together from Althaf Shoes Pvt Ltd., an award-winning upper manufacturer of over 30 years. Our production team is made up entirely of women, most with more than a decade in their roles.

What sets us apart is operational excellence: Lean manufacturing, software across every process, and a dedicated Work Study and Planning team feeding back to production.

By applying pressure on the systems instead of the workforce, we ensure quality above all else.
