Puma Running Shoes

Puma is a renowned global sports brand originating from Germany, founded by Rudolf Dassler in 1948 following a split from his brother Adolf (who founded Adidas). The brand has built a legacy of speed and performance, particularly in the running world, where it has sponsored legendary athletes like Usain Bolt.

Today, Puma operates a complex global supply chain. While the company is headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Germany, its running shoes are primarily manufactured across several Asian countries, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, and China, to leverage specialized manufacturing hubs.

Puma SE is a publicly traded company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. For many years, the French luxury group Kering held a majority stake, but they have since divested most of their shares. As of recent years and moving into the mid-2020s, the Artemis Group (the holding company of the Pinault family) remains a significant shareholder, though the company operates independently as a major global player in the athletic industry.
