As an innovative and high-tech
manufacturer HAIX meets the highest standards
of functionality, quality and design whilst
also providing good value for money.
Employees are a decisive factor
HAIX seeks to secure the services of highly skilled workers all over the world. To this end, we offer a comprehensive programme of training and continuing training every year. Many of our staff have gained valuable experience abroad by working at our own branches in various countries. They also benefit from the unique working climate that only a family-owned company is able to provide. Employment practices are enshrined within a written code of conduct that provides the basis for fruitful and successful cooperation within a spirit of partnership. We have also been certified by the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI).
Leather quality
Leather makes up around 70% of a shoe and is the most important material used. We only use leather from Germany. The highest quality leather can only be sourced from animals that have been kept properly. This approach even makes it possible to obtain thicknesses of over 3 mm. Our leather is free of any substances which could pose a hazard to health, such as PCP and chromium compounds6. It is hydrophobised in accordance with the DIN EN 345 Standard and is thus waterproof, easy to care for and capable of being processed to the very highest standard. Short transportation routes allow us to minimise our energy costs.
Top level production
HAIX boasts the most modern production facilities in Europe. Our manufacturing plants far exceed the statutory stipulations set out in the relevant standards and are certified in accordance with EN ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. We deploy innovative machines and have developed a method of sole manufacture that is unique in Europe. HAIX staff work in an environment that promotes satisfaction (noise, music, ceiling height/ventilation).
The test laboratory
We have established one of the world’s most modern test laboratories in order to ensure a constantly high level of product quality. Our aim is to exceed the minimum legal standards laid down by the greatest possible margin. This brings additional safety, more comfort and greater quality. Ongoing quality monitoring procedures make sure that the same high level of quality is maintained during the manufacturing process. This ambitious objective is guaranteed via a multitude of test procedures.
A symbiosis of design and function
HAIX design is functionally oriented. It is inimitable, aesthetic and modern, but never exists merely for its own sake. Our designs always pursue a purpose. For this reason, the company has its own in-house designers.
HAIX shoes do not simply look good. They also support the health and performance capability of their wearers. This harmonious link between design and function enables HAIX to set trends in the footwear industry and makes it a driver of innovation in Europe.
