We are expanding our office in Northamptonshire to handle our growing business; we are so proud to be based in the heartlands of British Shoe Making and, in the town, where the Totectors Brand was originally founded.”

IBG will showcase three key brands covering medical, military and safety footwear at the PCIAW® Summit & Awards, proving IBG’s ability to push boundaries through its holistic approach to footwear design and development which benefited from direct engagement with end-users.
The innovative Dutch footwear company has focused on social responsibility in its footwear brands, exemplified by its design-with-the-end-in-mind approach. IBG’s progressive nature is delivered in an end-of-life program that sees returned footwear recycled into foam and rubbers that can be reused in safety flooring to prevent injury in hospitals, schools, and care homes.
