Profile
Sells footbed-based sandals and closed-toe footwear, alongside skincare and accessories, through wholesale, online, and retail channels. The Americas are its largest regional business, while core silhouettes supply most revenue.
Built around its proprietary footbed, the portfolio spans sandals, closed-toe footwear, skincare, and accessories. Madrid, Arizona, Boston, Gizeh, and Mayari are the core silhouettes and account for most revenue.
Sales move through third-party retail networks and direct-to-consumer channels, including Birkenstock.com and company stores. The Americas form the largest regional segment, followed by EMEA and APAC.
Footwear is engineered and produced in the EU through vertically integrated manufacturing, with materials and components primarily sourced from European suppliers. Demand follows seasonal weather patterns, and production capacity remains concentrated in those EU operations.
