Quality is of utmost importance to Gabor. On the one hand, this basic principle is reflected in wearing comfort and fit and on the other hand in ensuring that the products are in no way damaging to our health or the environment. This is confirmed by Gabor expert, Manfred Rother, in an interview.

As a manufacturer of a high-quality brand product you also collaborate with associates. How does Gabor guarantee their transparency?
Gabor manufactures the vast majority of its shoes in its own factories in Europe...
Gabor manufactures the vast majority of its shoes in its own factories in Europe. Obviously this gives us a direct influence on all operations. Nevertheless, of course we also have associates and suppliers, some of whom are based in East Asia. We work in very close collaboration with our associates on all environmental issues and value long-term partnerships. We have been working with some suppliers, in India for instance, for the last 25 years. They are fully aware of our high expectations there and value us as good customers. But we always double-check everything to ensure that it meets our high quality standards.
