A pair of shoes is only presented to customers for marketing after being tested. Each technology and each material incorporated in the product is pre-tested.
Nowadays, comfort footwear is no different from regular footwear in terms of design incorporation. Keeping track of fashion trends is a key to adding value to products.
In addition to new products, development and research involves innovation in the production processes and constant customer satisfaction. Hard, thorough and always unfinished work.
In a global and competitive market, the Group ACO SHOES stands out for its vertical production system, which starts at the ACO SHOES Laboratory. It is in this discrete but very efficient structure that we study the new trends, create new products and apply new materials. Always seeking to fulfill our mission better as producers of quality comfort footwear, based on raw materials and the latest technological processes.
The development of new materials, components, footwear and advanced functionalities requires the study and creation of methodologies and tools to support and validate the characteristics proposed for the ambitious solutions.
