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

Today, we are one of Europe's leading manufacturers of quality safety and work shoes. With over 240 employees, we produce approximately 1.9 million pairs of shoes every year. This tradition, with the personal commitment of each employee, underpins our commitment to the protection and safety of the individual.
