Made with passion

In 1910, the vision of our founder Johann van Elten brought a breakthrough for safety footwear as we know it today: the first ELTEN safety shoe made of leather instead of wood.

Today we are one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of quality safety and work shoes. With more than 370 employees, we produce approximately 2 million pairs of shoes each year.

This tradition, together with the personal dedication of every single employee, underpins our commitment to the protection and safety of the individual.
