The OEU plant offers increased production capacity, as well as craftsmanship and specialisation in leather solutions (Almansa is known as the Spanish footwear capital, with over 400 years of history).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1i5stl27p0\">There has also been a strong investment in the Almansa team, which has been able to capitalise on local talent and technical expertise in leather processing, while taking advantage of the plant&#8217;s proximity to other European countries that also specialise in leather processing.<span style=\"white-space: pre;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1i5stl28a0\">OrthoLite Europe is also particularly important for the speed at which products are marketed, allowing delivery anywhere in Europe within two to four days.<span style=\"white-space: pre;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1i5stl28l0\">The OEU factory primarily serves \u2018Made in EU production\u2019 for fashion, luxury, apparel, work, outdoor, trail, hiking, casual comfort and athletic footwear brands with high-quality leather and other technical insoles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1i5stl2920\">\u201cOur commitment to invest in our global manufacturing footprint brings agility and reliability for OrthoLite\u2019s brand partners and our T1 factory partners,\u201d said Richard Bevan, VP of Global Operations for OrthoLite. \u201cOur factory in Spain is a crucial European hub for our EU-based partners. Our production demand continues to grow and&nbsp; we continue to build excellence in capacity, customer service, advancing technologies, and unmatched responsiveness as a strategic supply partner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1i5stl29i0\">OrthoLite brand partners can therefore expect the highest levels of service and quality, supported by the company&#8217;s continued commitment to investing in European production. A range of new technologies will support brand customisation and enhance production capacity in the EU to meet the growing demand for footwear with more technical designs and higher quality materials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1i5stl29v0\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image _fit-frame-height-to-content\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1de48tpjv0\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/111626-111624.png'); display: block; height: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 117.812%; background-position: 50% 50%;\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company &#8211; global leader of branded, high-performance,&nbsp; comfort footwear solutions &#8211; announces an expansion of its European hub, OrthoLite Europa (OEU).<span> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8946,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[147],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company-news-arsutoria"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8943\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
