Our Story
Three decades of material craftsmanship
Jesco Korea was founded in 1989 and incorporated in 2000. From our 10,000 m² manufacturing facility in Pocheon, South Korea, we produce premium synthetic leather for the world's furniture, automotive, marine, and fashion industries — with a monthly capacity of 12,000 meters of polyurethane leather and 3,000 meters of silicone leather.
Two materials, one standard
Thumbprint™ is our polyurethane leather line — the workhorse material trusted by brands including Alo Yoga, Spyder, Dynafit, and leading furniture makers, refined over thirty years of production.
Roskin™ is our patented silicone leather. The name comes from "rock skin": silicone is derived from silica — the substance of stone — and we engineer it to feel as soft as skin. Waterproof, flame-resistant, anti-staining, and free of the plasticizers found in conventional synthetics, Roskin is our answer to the next generation of sustainable materials. As DuPont has Gore-Tex, Jesco has Roskin.
Why buyers stay
Quality gets a first order; care gets the reorder. When something needs correcting — and in manufacturing, something always does — we fix it fast and build the process so it never happens twice. Our export team communicates fluently in English with direct US work experience, and when a client asks for confidentiality on a development, that promise is kept. This is how we've held customer relationships for decades.
