In 1949, the Gabor brand was established in Germany, near Hamburg, creating a brand that have successfully established themselves as one of the most stylish, comfortable and high-quality footwear brands to date. Gabor currently produce nearly 21,000 pairs of shoe a day at their worldwide manufacturing factories, an indication of just how in demand the Gabor shoes are. However, whilst the vast amount of shoes they produce is a testimony to the demand of Gabor product, it does not indicate mass production without care for quality and comfort, as Gabor continue to strive to produce a shoe worthy of being a Gabor shoe.

To be precise, there are 140 individual stages within the manufacturing process, which brings together 250 manufactured parts and 45 different materials. To ensure that each shoe is produced to a high standard, Gabor employ the use of specialised lasts, which are deemed “the soul of the shoe” by Gabor. Each footwear model has its own dedicated last, upon which the 250 parts of the shoe are built upon, creating shoes that customers can trust in.

To provide customers with the ultimate trust, Gabor ensure that all of their manufacturing process and materials used are transparent, allowing customers to see just what goes into the production of their footwear. Gabor maintain exceptional environmental factors within their materials and manufacturing processes by continuously testing and checking each process at regular intervals, whilst also checking all processes and materials for ecological and health impacts. Furthermore, they ask for the same strict rule adhering from their partners, building a relationship of trust and co-operation.
