Birkenstock

BIRKENSTOCK has made a name for itself far beyond the borders of Europe as a manufacturer of high-quality shoes. The company, which has been steeped in tradition for over 250 years and has its headquarters in Linz am Rhein and production sites in eight German cities, exports its shoes worldwide - in addition to numerous branches in Europe, America and Asia, BIRKENSTOCK shoes are sold in around 90 countries. The shoes owe their popularity to both their high quality standards and the spirit of the times, which is constantly reflected in all fashion trends.

As the inventor of the footbed, the brand stands for revolutionary ideas and innovative thinking. An anatomically shaped comfort shoe with a fashionable look and a high level of comfort - the core product of the company founded in 1977 is still unique today. Since March 2021, the French-American investment company L Catterton and Bernard Arnault have held a majority stake, while the brothers Alexander and Christian Birkenstock hold a minority stake.

Sustainability in harmony with nature's raw materials plays a special role in production. Out of conviction and passion for what is naturally good, shoes with exceptional quality standards are created. Comfort and functionality characterize the collections; each shoe becomes a feel-good product that the owner will want to wear every day.

In a world characterized by consumerism and an abundance of fast-moving products, BIRKENSTOCK represents a beneficial counterweight to fast fashion with a strong awareness of healthy feet and sustainable production. Traditional craftsmanship meets quality, function meets fashion - the BIRKENSTOCK brand stands for the responsible use of high-quality materials and fashion expertise. In addition to the production of high-quality shoes, the company dedicated itself to other healthy lifestyle products a few years ago in the frame of licensed businesses: Accessories, natural cosmetics, beds and sleeping systems complete the range.
