Sustainable, certified, committed:
our production facilities.
Good quality is not a coincidence.
We design all our collections ourselves and manufacture most of them at our own site Romania, which is EMAS certified, as well as in our Indian factory in Vellore, which is ISO 14001, ISO 9001, ISO 45001 as well as SA8000 certified. The entire value chain – from design to production to distribution – is controlled by us. Production is outsourced without intermediaries exclusively to long-term partners who have to commit to our Code of Conduct. This guarantees maximum transparency.
We have all the materials we use regularly tested by recognised testing institutes. Our high quality standards and strict material requirements often go far beyond industry standards. For our customers, this means consistently high quality down to the smallest shoe lace. Because we are all at the same high technical level, because we are always in close exchange and mutually benefit from our know-how.
"Our depth of value creation ensures maximum transparency and quality assurance."
—Stefan Stolitzka Majority shareholder and CEO legero united
We’re happy to take responsibility.
For our partners, too.
We know exactly what we do, where we do it and why we do it.
At the beginning there is the design. Then we think about how we can best implement the respective model. Many aspects play an important role: Who supplies the best leather? Do we have our own tanneries? Do the partner companies work for us? Or do they manufacture the shoe completely? What kind of soling do we need? How large is the print run? Who has the corresponding capacities?
For us, cooperation means give and
take.
Just as we can rely on our partners, they, too, can rely on us. Among other things, we make sure that all partner companies operate at as full a capacity as possible. And when one of them can’t, the next one steps in. In our own production facilities in India and Romania we ensure that our shoemakers are picked up from home in the morning and taken back in the evening. In India, we have also been supporting the Arumbugal School & Nursery for many years—a ten-grade school with a kindergarten where approximately 500 students are taught by 18 teachers.

Sustainability and quality from our own production: Our facility in India.
We have been manufacturing at our own production facility in Vellore (Tamil Nadu, India) for many years because the region boasts exceptional expertise in leather tanning and processing. This expertise is a central pillar of our sustainability strategy: Most raw materials are sourced directly on-site, and this regional procurement of leather and other materials allows us to significantly reduce long transport routes and the associated emissions. At the same time, this local value creation strengthens economic development in the region by providing employment for approximately 1,500 employees.
Where the future takes shape: our Vellore facility continues to grow
In recent years, we have significantly upgraded our production facility in terms of technology and infrastructure. In 2025, construction of a second production hall was completed. This state-of-the-art facility enables us to carry out integrated full-shoe production, ensuring even greater efficiency, seamless quality control, and full transparency throughout the entire value chain. A clear commitment to long-term growth, innovation, and global collaboration.
Valea lui Mihai: Center of Excellence for Precision Shaft Manufacturing
Since 2001, Valea lui Mihai has been a key location within our production network. Today, this production facility employs approximately 450 dedicated staff members who, with their expertise and experience, make a significant contribution to the quality of our products. The site specializes in particular in the processing of shaft materials: In a modern stitching facility, the shafts are manufactured and further processed with great precision.
The Embroidery Specialist: Our Facility in Romania
In addition, we use specialized embroidery machines here that allow us to adorn our superfit slippers with intricate, lovingly crafted designs. These decorative elements not only give the products a high level of brand recognition but also contribute to the exceptional quality and appeal of our collections.
