Every day we receive an average of 14,000 pairs of shoe uppers, so-called shafts, from our own production plant in southern Brazil. The more than 80 m-long warehouse is intended to accommodate another 400,000 pairs of shafts on more than 2,000 pallet bays by mid-year.
“The goal of the extension is to increase our production capacity significantly. The significance of individualising safety footwear using different soul shapes and a variety of sole formulas is on a constant increase. An important step in that direction is maintaining a permanent stock of suitable uppers to be able to provide a flexible and quick delivery to final assembly and ultimately to the specialist retailers’ storage,” said Hendrik Schabsky, ATLAS® Managing Partner.
