From EMU Australia
The EMU Difference:
EMU Australia ("EMU", pronounced "eem-you"), is a luxury brand of innovative wool and uniquely Australian footwear based on the most modern footwear technologies available. Founded in 1994 by surf industry veteran Andrew Raggett, EMU is known globally for its tradition of offering the most comfortable shoes in the world, with products ranging from traditional sheepskin boots and slippers, to casual comfort slides, urban trainers, thongs and performance sport sandals.
As a privately owned company, EMU controls 100% of operations from concept to the shelf, including tanneries, factories, distribution facilities and wool resources based in the wool capital of the world, Geelong, Australia. This unique, vertical structure cuts out the oft-costly middleman and puts EMU in the unique position to build highest quality product, maintain lower price points, and affect fast and efficient delivery with minimal lead-time. EMU Australia is headquartered in San Clemente, California, and Geelong, Australia. The company continues to grow its global business exponentially and has recently expanded its operations in China, taken over Canadian distribution, and appointed distributions in Japan and Europe. EMU Australia celebrates a decade of success in 2004. |
