A global concern with over 30,000 employees, 24 manufacturing facilities, over 5,000 stores in more than 70 countries worldwide, Bata has been providing the best shoes at the best prices, backed by unmatched service, for 120 years.

Since its founding in 1894 by Thomas Bata, the company has consistently demonstrated its commitment to responsible and innovative business models in the belief that capital is not just money, buildings or technology, but, above all, people, knowledge and core values. This visionary approach has allowed the company to face each new challenge with creativity and foresight, earning the trust and confidence of customers, employees and the communities in which it operates.

Today, Bata's pioneering decentralized manufacturing system, with semi-autonomous regional structures, allows the company to quickly adapt to market changes and seize potential growth opportunities. It also continues Bata's long tradition of being sensitive to cultural and national differences and allows it to function proudly as a local company in each country where it does business.
