Factory — Wenzhou, Zhejiang
Premium leather footwear manufacturing from China's shoe capital — founded 2013, built on a decade of Wenzhou craftsmanship.
Overview
Wenzhou Global Expand Shoes was established in 2013 as a dedicated production facility for leather dress, formal, and smart-casual footwear. Located in Lucheng District — the geographic centre of Wenzhou's shoe industry — the factory benefits from immediate proximity to the city's tanneries, component suppliers, and export logistics network.
The facility operates across two production buildings with a combined floor area of approximately 8,000 m². All upper cutting, stitching, lasting, and finishing is performed in-house, giving us full control over quality at every stage of the production chain.
Wenzhou Global Expand works primarily with international brands and buying agents seeking OEM and ODM production of men's and women's leather footwear. Sampling lead times average 15–20 days; bulk production 45–60 days from approved sample.
