The story of Sylcon isn’t just the tale of a brand; it’s the story of resilience, passion, & entrepreneurial spirit passed over through generations. It began in 1942, when a 12-year-old boy, K. Hamza, left Thalassery in Kerala, his hometown, with nothing but a mind full of dreams and determination in his heart. He journeyed to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and began working as a helper in a leather manufacturing company.

Hamza quickly absorbed & adapted to the skills of the trade, and within a couple of years, he mastered the craft of belt-making. He started his own belt manufacturing unit in Ceylon, which was perceived as a bold move for someone at such a young age. However, it was just the beginning.
