WHO WE ARE
Our Mission
From the day we opened our doors nearly 75 years ago, our mission has remained the same: To innovate our way to higher-performing, more sustainable products. Over the years, we’ve met that mission time and again. At the same time, we increased our capabilities, broadened our product line, and continue to expand in Asia. But innovation is a never-ending pursuit. That’s why we remain committed to researching and developing the highest-rated heel-counter and box-toe materials in the industry. It’s this vision that brings you our new Nitro products, which are made of at least 85% plastic-bottle waste.
Where Innovation Meets Technology
Our extrusion line is the heart of our operation. It’s where our vision of copolymer products, and their sustainability, becomes a reality. We rely on a dual-extrusion system with a three-layer die; there are no coatings or additional processes required to finish the sheet. We can customize the blends to create ultra-firm counters or extra-light box toes, and apply a hot-melt TPU as an outer layer to the core material. The extrusion line transforms our raw materials into finished products ready for our cutting room, or yours.
Zero Waste
We build green options into every process we design, and every part we manufacture. Take, for example, our zero-waste program. Simply provide us with a DXF file and we’ll use our CAD system to cut your parts—and then ship the finished product to your door. You’ll reduce your overhead costs, and you’ll achieve an optimal yield that far exceeds that of die-cutting. Most important, we’ll recycle the cutting waste back into our products. It’s an absolutely green, sustainable, zero-waste solution. And the best possible decision for our planet.
At Stanbee, we adhere to the strictest quality-control measures. Throughout every phase of production, we test our raw materials—including their moisture and melt-points—and we dome-test the finished products. Every Stanbee heel counter, box toe, and reinforcer meets SATRA requirements and our seal of approval before shipping.
At Stanbee, we all share the same vision. From our salespeople to our technicians, to our extrusion operators to our cutting experts, we aim to produce products that are both high-performing and sustainable. Equally important, we are dedicated to developing a long-lasting, rewarding relationship with you, our customer.
