Our Growth

Tracing our humble beginnings back to 1997, where we initially launched as Arvind Footwear. Now, AFPL has grown into a leading manufacturer, producing 10,000 pairs of shoes daily across three units. We attribute our growth to our exceptional customer service. Our expansion has been carefully planned, focusing on strategic locations, certifications, and other initiatives that support our customers in benefiting from our growth.
1997

The Foundation

In April 1997, AFPL, then known as Arvind Footwear, began its journey in a modest 4500 sq. ft. facility. From these humble beginnings, we aimed to deliver high-quality footwear that would make a mark on the global stage.

2004

Going Global

By June 1998, we were producing 1,000 pairs of Western boots per day. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction fueled our growth, leading us to expand our facility in 2004. This expansion enabled us to diversify our product range and enter new markets, including Spain, Germany, Sweden, and Norway.

2016

Scaling New Heights

April 2016 marked another significant milestone as we reached a production capacity of 5,000 pairs per day. With a strategic vision, we expanded our establishments tenfold in 2017, bringing the total area of our facilities to 523,700 sq. ft. This growth allowed us to enhance our capabilities and better serve our global clientele.
