About Leon International

Five Decades of Marine Engineering Excellence Under One Roof

Our Story

Leon International was born from the convergence of decades of marine engineering expertise, global sourcing networks, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Our roots trace back to 1974, when our founding operations began serving the growing maritime needs of Karachi Port — one of the busiest ports along the Arabian Sea trade routes.

Over the years, we have grown from a local ship repair workshop into a multi-national marine engineering powerhouse with operations spanning Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, China, and Latvia. Today, Leon International stands as one of the most comprehensive marine and industrial service providers in the region, offering everything from engine overhauling and steel fabrication to global spare parts procurement and advanced non-destructive testing.

What sets us apart is not just the breadth of our capabilities, but the depth of our expertise. Our team includes certified marine engineers, Bureau Veritas-approved welders, experienced electrical technicians, and sourcing specialists who maintain direct relationships with manufacturers and ship recycling yards across three continents. This combination allows us to deliver solutions that are not only technically superior but also cost-effective and time-efficient.
