Sialkot is a city of 700,000 people in Punjab, Pakistan. It is also the place where more than 40% of the world's hand-stitched footballs are made, where Nike, Adidas, and Puma have trusted their production for decades, and where ALEZ Industry has been manufacturing premium sportswear since 2019.
A Century of Manufacturing Heritage
Sialkot's sports goods industry began over 100 years ago, initially producing surgical instruments and later expanding into sports equipment. By the mid-20th century, the city had become the undisputed global leader in football production.
Today, Sialkot's manufacturers supply the equipment used in the FIFA World Cup, the Olympics, and every major sporting league on the planet. That level of precision and quality standard is embedded in the city's manufacturing culture.
