Innovative and tradition-conscious, internationally oriented and regionally rooted – this is how our Uedem-based company can be characterised. We produce foot protection that not only meets all the requirements for the safety of the wearer, but is also always oriented towards their health and comfort. Cooperation with experts and scientists is very important to us. In this way, ELTEN always has its finger on the pulse of the times and creates innovative solutions, while the world of work is also changing rapidly.

One of the special features of our company in the green heart of the Lower Rhine region is the sustainability of many of our foot protection models. ELTEN uses leather that has been produced in an environmentally friendly way and to high standards.

In all of this, we are proud of our long tradition. Founded in 1910, ELTEN has now become one of Europe’s leading safety shoe manufacturers. But the final production of our shoes still takes place in the Lower Rhine region, and the headquarters in Uedem continues to expand. We are and remain a family business – now in the fourth generation. Our employees are our most valuable asset and some have been associated with ELTEN for many decades. They contribute their accumulated know-how to the development and production of our safety footwear.

Take a walk on the safe side – this is a high standard: we want to do everything to not only optimally protect the wearers of our safety shoes, but also to offer them the best possible wearing comfort.

The management
