The range was rounded off with insoles, shoe trees and other shoe accessories. Thanks to years of experience and the global expertise of the former parent company Salamander, the company had helped to shape the shoe market and, in cooperation with leading shoe manufacturers worldwide, had developed into one of the most renowned producers of fine shoe care products.
