Zero-tooling cutting: from CAD to upper in minutes
- Zünd digital cutters iterate patterns straight from your DXF – no steel dies, no waiting.
- On-site sewing room → test upper stitched the same day you approve cutting.
- Cost-neutral tweaks – update pattern pieces or size grading at any time, no re-tooling fees.




80 s takt, +65 % output
Programmable Sewing Cell
- 38 s stitching + 42 s load → 80 s cycle (manual 132 s).
- +65 % throughput on the same floor-space.
- Stitch path ±0.2 mm → fewer rejects.
- Pattern tweak < €5 / 10 min – all jigs digital.
Why it matters – Faster line balance, less operator stress, late-stage design changes without re-tooling pain.
waterproof membrane untouched
GLUE LASTING + “MACHINE-OF-TRUTH” BUFF-CEMENT
Why it matters: Consistent fit, waterproof integrity and a visibly cleaner bond line – delivered at a pace that frees skilled staff for jobs where people really add value.
Glue-lasting & heel calibration
- Zero nails — waterproof membrane stays intact.
- Heated heel roller melts the adhesive, then presses it to the last, locking an identical counter shape every time.
- Programmable glue path means adhesive never spills inside and fills the edge perfectly.
This repeatability is exactly what the buff-cement robot needs in the next station.
Buff-cement cell
• Robot buffs and applies adhesive in one pass – perfect width, no overspray.
• Fixed path means every outsole edge is treated exactly the same; any geometrical error from previous stations is flagged instantly.
• Cleaner edge = fewer touch-ups and a shoe that looks premium straight off the line.

One-piece knit meets nitrogen-foamed comfort
3-D SEAMLESS UPPER + SUPERCRITICAL MIDSOLE
47 g one-piece 3D knitted upper in 8-11 min — no patterns, no waste.
Add a super-critical foam midsole and the whole shoe is just 238 g.

Eight construction methods under one roof – change design direction without changing factory.

Seamless knitting
One-piece 3-D knit, zero cuts or seams; zoned flex is programmed, waste is near-zero. Lightest, most breathable option – ideal for runners and eco stories.

String lasting
Upper is pulled in with cord, no insole board. Softer underfoot feel and lower cost; works with soles that have a small sidewall.

Strobel
Sock-like Strobel board is stitched to the upper, then bonded to the sole. Fast, lightweight and very flexible – go-to for sneakers and kids.

Waterproof strobel
Strobel sock sealed with ladder tape; PU flows through the “rungs”, filling the gap between upper and membrane.
Top-tier waterproofing for direct-inject outdoor or work boots.

Strobel + lasting
Strobel sock plus toe lasted over the form – room for a safety toecap. Combines flexible midfoot with front protection; common in PU-injected safety shoes.

Hybrid strobel
Strobel sock covered by a welt instead of a sidewall. Lets you keep strobel flexibility even on no-wall outsoles.
Moccasin
True hand-sewn moc: leather wraps underfoot, seam visible on vamp.
Ultra-soft forefoot; signature casual look for driving or deck shoes.
Lasted
Classic lasting with full cement bonding.
Most universal method – works for dress, street, waterproof and anything in between.
