OMBÚ to manufacture sports footwear in La Rioja
With 80 years of experience in Argentina, OMBÚ, the workwear and safety footwear brand, announced the launch of a new sports footwear manufacturing project in La Rioja. This move strengthens its market presence and reinforces the province’s role as a productive development hub.
The operation will be based in the Industrial Park, with an initial output of 1,000 pairs of sneakers per day in a single shift. In its first stage, the plant will employ 25 new workers. The facility will be equipped with cutting-edge German technology, including DESMA robotic injection machinery.
The arrival of specialized technicians from Germany is awaited, to install the machinery and train personnel, with production scheduled to begin in June.
