Our Family Business in Textiles and Footwear

  • Since the 1970s, our family has focused on the textile and footwear sectors. Initially, our main focus was on international trade in second-hand shoes for the Asian continent. Later, we shifted to new shoes, returns, and surplus stock. We have supported multinational companies in Europe by profitably exporting their surplus stock to developing countries.

  • We are a sustainable organization, ensuring our activities do not harm the environment. By exporting surplus stock, we prevent goods from being burned or destroyed, instead providing them to people in low-income countries. All our activities are closely coordinated with our suppliers. Together, we determine which shoe brands are best suited for which countries and customers or outlets abroad. This creates a win-win situation for all partners.
  • Let's work together to change the world and discuss solutions for you.
