We order bootlegs from the company Thanner which we use to produce our orthopaedic custom-made shoes, as well as diabetes protective shoes. The family-owned company Thanner produces exclusively in Germany and has been in business since 1927. On a factory area of 8,100 m2 the 240 employees produce all the goods.
There were many interesting insights for us into the production of bootlegs and shoes and into the large leather warehouse. Particularly impressive were the many small-scale work steps, the drawing of the bootleg models by hand or with CAD and the laser-assisted cutting table. Some workflows we make ourselves at our factory is replaced by machines here.
Furthermore, there was a training unit for us for the supply of diabetics as well as for bootleg constructions. We learned something about new supply options and materials which we will include in our daily routine.
In summary, we had a very interesting day at Thanner GmbH and would like to thank Mr. Kipfelsberger and the entire Thanner team.
