BIRKENSTOCK is a glo­bal life­style brand that stands for qua­li­ty, func­tion and all-round well-being. The his­to­ric roots of this long-stan­ding fami­ly-run com­pa­ny can be tra­ced back to the year 1774. Nowa­days, the pro­duct port­fo­lio com­pri­ses san­dals and clo­sed shoes, access­ories, natu­ral cos­me­tics as well as beds and sleep sys­tems. With more than 4,300 employees, BIRKENSTOCK is the Ger­man shoe industry’s lar­gest employ­er. BIRKENSTOCK has 16 loca­ti­ons in Ger­ma­ny, with pri­va­te­ly owned dis­tri­bu­ti­on com­pa­nies in Euro­pe, Asia and the USA.
