OUR PRODUCTION STANDARDS

We manufacture our shoes in production units based in Vietnam – a region renowned for its strict labor laws and high-quality production.
Located equidistant from our two main distribution markets, this location allows us to strike the ideal balance between CO2 emissions, quality, and price.     

We maintain personal, long-term relationships with the management teams of these facilities - many of whom have become friends. In addition to independent third-party audits, our product development director, based in Taiwan, visits the sites frequently. These regular visits ensure close collaboration and continuous supply chain monitoring.   

SHARED VALUES

Vietnam's manufacturing industry is respected worldwide for its strict labor laws and comprehensive social regulations.
They guarantee worker protection, fair compensation, and safe working conditions, with reasonable working hours.
Our factory received an exceptionally high score of 9.2 (out of 10) during its independent third-party audit.  

STRATEGIC LOCATION

Vietnam is a key market in the global supply chain.
Providing access to a robust network of top-tier material suppliers, it ensures efficiency and agility in sourcing and production processes.
Another advantage: Vietnam's central geographical location acts as a bridge between Europe and the United States - SAOLA's two main markets, allowing for smoother logistics operations and faster access to markets.
