engelbert strauss is a 100% family-owned vertical mailing/catalogue company located in Frankfurt am Main area, established in 1908.
Our company is the no. 1 in field of workwear in Europe, pls have a look on our homepage
www.engelbert-strauss.com to understand our product range better.
You will see that our products are not traditional boring safety boots or blueman coat, we are focusing on functional materials and sporty look design, good price levels for workers and make them be proud to run in the cities even with workwear during and after work.
Unlike brands in sportswear and outdoor wear our customers are very traditional craftmans' companies, from individual to small and middle size company with 5-500 staffs. Our collections are mainly NOS items which we promise our customers to keep in catalogue for more than 5 years, so that they can keep their outfits of staff and new staff for many years. The benefit for our suppliers is that we will keep placing repeat order for many years without change of colours or materials.
Footwear is the second biggest business area for our mailing order business, we are selling every year several mio. pairs shoes and all of them are safety shoes with toe cap/anti penetration steel plate or without toe cap but need to be also certified to EN 20347. Materials we select for our collection must have both functional and fashion look but also durable.
The reason why I contact you today is that we are looking for new upper materials for coming seasons, we'd like to work with you together to create some pretty new styles.
Can you pls kindly let us know how you work with your customers normally and how to proceed our projects?
