The company began as a small enterprise in the year 1976 and was officially incorporated in 1984 and further went into public listing in 1995. According to the 2008 Business Survey, it has now emerged as the second largest footwear producer in India.
Relaxo Footwear commenced its journey with the manufacture of Hawaii slippers. It has now grown into a large-scale entrepreneurship catering to the basic needs of the quintessential Indian citizen. From a modest sale figure of Rs. 1 million in 1977 to more than Rs. 5000 million last year; the company has experienced a record-breaking growth since inception. Today, the company manufactures over 3 lakh pairs of footwear per day, which approximately adds up to over 10 million pairs per year. Each pair is given thorough attention by the dedicated and skilled employees working at the 10 state-of-the-art manufacturing units in Northern India. Thus, it is no small wonder that the annual turnover has multiplied 2.4 times in the last 3 years from Rs. 305 crore in 2007-08 to a whopping Rs. 550 crore in 2009-10.
What?s more, with over 30 years of experience and 100 million satisfied customers, Relaxo keenly looks forward to achieving an estimated annual turnover of Rs. 1000 crore by the year 2012.
