Josef Seibel shoes have been a household name in Western Europe since the 70’s. The 90’s ushered in a new phase for Josef Seibel – allowing the expansion into major North American markets across the Atlantic. From a small village in Germany to production facilities in Europe and Asia, Josef Seibel is continuing our expansion.
Carl-August Seibel founded one of the first shoe factories in Hauenstein, in 1886. At the time he only produced shoes and sandals in his own house. In 1907 a new factory was built, which still produces shoes today.The business continued to grow throughout from the forties. During the early seventies a recession hit Europe, but was mainly averted by Josef Seibel who took steps to introduce new ideas in development and reorganization.
Today the company is run by the fourth generation “Carl-August Seibel”. We are still grounded on a legacy built by our founder, Carl-August Seibel. Mr. Seibel saw the need for efficient construction and manufacturing of sturdy, durable, and long-lasting shoes – and this has been continued generation after generation, culminating in the Seibel shoe line’s popularity around the world today.
