History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 424590-05 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The "Hides (Wholesale)" industry has a long history dating back to ancient times when hides were used for clothing, shelter, and other purposes. In the Middle Ages, the industry became more organized, and guilds were formed to regulate the trade. In the 19th century, the invention of the steam engine and the expansion of the railroad network made it easier to transport hides over long distances, leading to the growth of the industry. In recent times, the industry has faced challenges due to the increasing demand for synthetic materials and the rise of animal welfare concerns. However, the industry has adapted by developing new technologies to process hides more efficiently and sustainably, and by exploring new markets for hides, such as the automotive and fashion industries. In the United States, the "Hides (Wholesale)" industry has a rich history, with many notable milestones. During the colonial period, the industry was centered in New England, where hides were used to make shoes, saddles, and other leather goods. In the 19th century, the industry expanded westward, with Chicago becoming a major center for hide processing and trading. During World War II, the industry played a crucial role in supplying leather for military equipment. In recent times, the industry has faced challenges due to the increasing competition from synthetic materials and the decline of the U.S. manufacturing sector. However, the industry has adapted by focusing on high-value markets, such as luxury leather goods and automotive upholstery.
