In the early 30s of the XX century, a young company was able to build its first factory [2] 15m long and 6m wide. Leather was dressed and welded on the ground floor, and sewing was located in the attic.
In 2010 , the production of ski boots was opened in Javera del Montello (Italy). And the main production of trekking and climbing shoes continues in Etzendorf
