ECCO footwear

ECCO is a world-renowned Danish footwear brand founded in 1963 by Karl Toosbuy. The brand is unique in the shoe industry because it controls its entire value chain, from its own tanneries to footwear manufacturing and retail. This vertical integration allows ECCO to maintain exceptionally high quality standards for its leather and finished products.

While the brand originated in Denmark and maintains its headquarters there, production is global to meet international demand. The company operates factories in multiple countries including Portugal, Slovakia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and China. ECCO remains a family-owned enterprise, prioritizing sustainable production methods and ergonomic design. The brand has evolved from a small factory in Bredebro to a global leader in comfort-driven, high-quality footwear.
