JOSEF SEIBEL, INC.
SALEM, OR

Josef Seibel GmbH is renowned for its commitment to premium quality, workmanship, and comfort in footwear. Originating from a small village in Germany, the brand has grown expansively across Europe, Asia, and North America since its inception in the early 20th century. The company made significant strides during the 1990s by entering major North American markets, which complemented their existing strong presence as "The European Comfort Shoe" in Western Europe. Romika, originally founded in 1936 near Trier, Germany by Hellmuth Lemm, became an industry leader after overcoming early challenges such as factory bombings during WWII. The brand was integral to the German Economic Boom of the 1950s, expanding its product line to include sports shoes and employing thousands by decade's end. Renowned for innovative techniques like heated presses for boot production, Romika contributed significantly to fashion and industrial progress in Germany. In 2005, Josef Seibel GmbH acquired the insolvent Romika to ensure continuity of the brand, maintaining employment for over 390 staff across multiple locations including Trier and the Czech Republic. Today, the leadership includes Carl-August Seibel and Andreas Garnier, who steer the company's operations along with offices in Salem, Oregon. With its commitment to excellence and innovation, Josef Seibel GmbH continues delivering a remarkable range of casual, trendy, and formal shoe options to customers worldwide.
