Exponential growth of Calçados PEGADA
Since its founding in 1989 in Dois Irmãos/RS, Calçados PEGADA has seen a steady increase in footwear production across various lines, enabling it to serve over 11,000 points of sale nationwide. The company exports to more than 60 countries and has offices in Europe, the United States, and Canada. With eight manufacturing units in Rio Grande do Sul and Bahia, employing 4,500 workers, the company produces 7 million pairs annually. Recently, employment increased by 20% due to the vertical integration of production and the in-house manufacturing of soles and components. In 2024, the company plans to open another manufacturing complex in Sapeaçu, Bahia, which will produce 40,000 pairs daily.
