What we do
Our comprehensive service package supports our clients from the initial brainstorming phase all the way to a finished, market-ready product. We cover every step of the journey, starting with product management, moving through design and development, and extending to sourcing and supply chain management. Finally, we deliver results through our expertise in both digital and traditional marketing and sales.

While our primary focus is on the licensing business, we offer our services both as a complete package and tailored to specific areas of expertise.
Design
Our international design team develops bespoke concepts – from initial sketches to realistic 3D designs. By leveraging modern technology, we combine innovation with functionality, visualizing materials and proportions long before production begins to make the development process faster and more sustainable.
Product Management
Our product managers conduct in-depth research to ensure our products meet market demands, gaining early insights through international trend agencies. By continuously analyzing the competition and leveraging modern technology, we always stay one step ahead.
Marketing & Sales
Marketing develops consumer-centric strategies for digital and traditional channels, as well as go-to-market and POS concepts. A large portion of this work originates in Digital Business Development, which drives our transformation. Our sales team manages a Europe-wide dealer network while also focusing on digital sales channels.
Production & Logistics
A strong network of high-quality production facilities in Asia ensures reliable delivery performance. All partners adhere to our Code of Conduct and undergo rigorous audits. We guarantee the highest quality standards in collaboration with PFI Germany. Whether by sea, rail, air freight, or on-demand, we provide the most efficient delivery solution.
Our passion
Combining traditional shoemaking expertise with innovative development and production techniques embodies our passion for footwear and serves as the secret to our vision's success.
Our Commitment
Environmentally responsible use of resources, respect for human rights, and economic sustainability form the foundation of our future. Thanks to advancing digitalization, early prototypes can be visualized during the design and development process, eliminating waste.

By reducing significant amounts of CO₂ emissions, we make our value chains more sustainable. Consistently high standards, achieved through efficient and climate-friendly workflows, are our approach to sustainable growth.
REACH standards
Our product materials are always tested according to REACH standards. REACH harmonizes European chemical regulations and governs the handling of chemical substances during production and processing. This ensures transparency throughout the supply chain, allowing us to track chemical substances from manufacturing to the end consumer.
BSCI certificate
In addition, all partners must hold a BSCI certificate. The Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) sets high standards for working conditions and social responsibility in production facilities.Our commitment is to leverage innovation and technology to sustainably reduce our ecological footprint.
