Ochsner Shoes AG

About Ochsner Shoes AG

With around 600 employees and 65 branches, Ochsner Shoes is the second-largest player in the stationary shoe market in Switzerland, but also distinguishes itself through an innovative combination of stationary and online retail. As the market leader in the premium Swiss shoe trade, Ochsner focuses on quality and individual style. The proportion of articles produced in Europe has been deliberately increased to also take responsibility in the area of sustainability. In addition to shoes from own and third-party brands for women, men, and children, the range also includes accessories and care products. The company was founded in 1928 by Gottfried Ochsner in Zurich's old town. Towards the end of the Second World War, Max Ochsner took over his father's business and further expanded the branch chain in the region. At the beginning of the 1970s, Ochsner expanded through the acquisition of various store chains and the opening of new branches in French-speaking Switzerland. The expansion continued in the 1980s. The company has been part of the internationally active Deichmann Group since 1992. Ochsner Shoes actively supports the Pink Ribbon Switzerland organization, which is dedicated to the fight against breast cancer and draws attention to topics such as early detection and regular check-ups through numerous events.
