At GNL, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of quality, sustainability, and ethical responsibility in every facet of our operations.

Manufacturing Excellence

Our products are crafted across selected regions - Italy, Portugal, Bulgaria and China - each chosen based on specific product requirements and technical criteria.

  • Italy and Portugal: Renowned for their rich heritage in high quality materials, our facilities here blend traditional craftsmanship with modern sustainable practices..
  • Bulgaria: We collaborate with a family-run factory nestled in the Bulgarian mountain region of Kasak. This establishment, integral to its local community, ensures meticulous handcrafting of footwear. Regular personal visits affirm our commitment to ethical working conditions and superior production quality.
  • China: Certain technologically advanced models are produced in China. Our partner facility here has been thoroughly vetted to meet our stringent ethical and quality standards, ensuring that innovation does not compromise our core values.

Sustainable material sourcing

We prioritize the use of eco-friendly and high quality materials, meticulously selecting components that meet our high-quality standards while minimizing environmental impact. By sourcing materials from regions in close proximity to our manufacturing sites, we reduce transportation distances, thereby lowering CO₂ emissions.

Production philosophy

Mindful of overproduction's environmental consequences, we align our manufacturing closely with market demand. This approach ensures resource efficiency and reflects our dedication to responsible production.

Community and social responsibility

Beyond our environmental commitments, we invest in the well-being of the communities intertwined with our production processes. This includes supporting local employment, fostering skill development, and ensuring that our business practices contribute positively to societal growth.

At GNL Footwear, sustainability and ethics are not mere considerations but foundational principles guiding our journey toward a more responsible and conscientious future.
