As early as 1898, the master trimmers, Emil Otto sen. a textile craft business in Goslar. Emil Otto, great-grandfather of the current managing director, quickly made a name for himself as a producer of high-quality cords and trimmings. Even then, our customers valued the natural materials and the precise processing in the best craftsmanship tradition.
A short time later, the family business was making high-quality socks from first-class yarns. Emil Otto stepped outside the door of the ski lodge after a snack on a skiing holiday in Austria in exactly these socks. Of course, the snow soaked his socks immediately. This travel experience inspired Emil to equip the socks made of felted new wool with a robust leather sole. The result was not just dry and warm feet, but an innovative product. As a result, the success story of the hut shoe began in 1955.
The next slippers were quickly made in our family business, but at that time they did not find their way to the feet of customers under the name Haflinger. The company produced exclusively for well-known manufacturers who sold the slippers under their brands. These slippers became firmly established in the homes and hearts of slipper wearers around the world. Expansions, innovations and always new creations followed and the first step towards the Haflinger brand.
