World's first safety and work shoes with OEKO-TEX® label!
Stuco is proud to be the first manufacturer of work and safety shoes in the world to receive the OEKO-TEX® LEATHER STANDARD certification.
More than 250 work steps and over 60 individual parts are necessary to produce a high-quality and comfortable safety shoe. From the leather to the rubber and the yarn to the individual eyelets, we have had each of these individual parts - including the non-textile components - tested by OEKO-TEX® in the laboratory for harmful chemical residues. With success: four models have already been awarded the OEKO-TEX® LEATHER STANDARD label and others are about to complete the testing process.
For man and nature
As a manufacturer of safety and work shoes with our own, purely European production, sustainability with fair production is more than just lip service. Already during the development of the shoes, we at Stuco attach great importance to sustainable and environmentally compatible materials and suppliers who also fulfil these criteria. In addition to the certification according to ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 9001 (quality) as well as Amfori BSCI (social) and EcoVadis (sustainability), Stuco has now also decided to carry out corresponding certifications at product level. For Stuco customers, this is a further guarantee of sustainability, quality and safety.
Leather articles tested for harmful substances
The individual components of the product are tested by one of the independent OEKO-TEX® partner institutes. This is based on the globally standardised OEKO-TEX® criteria catalogue, which includes several hundred regulated individual substances.
Safe, comfortable and ecological
Stuco's safety and work shoes offer customers optimum protection and a high level of wearing comfort. The OEKO-TEX® label now provides assurance that the shoes are not only safe and comfortable in terms of the materials used, but also ecological and free of harmful chemical residues. The models certified by OEKO-TEX® are checked once a year according to the updated test criteria and, at best, recertified.
