About Us
GB Footwear Inc. was founded by Silvio Berteli, who, over the course of 23 years, represented E.S. Originals Inc. in Brazil, becoming a prominent figure in the footwear agency industry in Franca/SP. After this period, with the entry of his son, Gustavo Berteli, the company underwent a strategic transformation driven by his unique vision for identifying new industrial hubs and exploring innovative opportunities in global markets.
Silvio’s passion for excellence and innovation, combined with Gustavo’s strategic vision, enabled GB Footwear to expand beyond Brazil. The company quickly established itself as a reference in designing, developing, and supplying high-quality footwear to major brands in the United States. Its key strength lies in its ability to combine strategic sourcing with superior manufacturing processes, ensuring the highest standards of quality control.
With Gustavo’s expertise in identifying new production hubs, GB Footwear expanded its operations into Asia, establishing strong partnerships with leading footwear agencies in the region. This expansion introduced new technologies, improved production processes, and reinforced the company’s commitment to excellence and innovation.
Today, with operations in Brazil, Mexico, and Asia, GB Footwear is one of the few agencies offering a comprehensive service that encompasses sourcing, development, production, and quality control. The company continues to work with top global brands, delivering exceptional footwear and turning challenges into opportunities, always with a focus on innovation, quality, and passion.
