We want to partner with established entrepreneurs with proven success owning and operating retail stores, footwear, apparel and merchandise experience.

Over 130 years ago Bata set out to “Shoe the World”. This heritage led us to where we are now, one of the world’s leading shoe designers, manufacturers and retailers operating in 56+ countries across six continents. We are a family-owned business that seeks to improve the communities in which we operate. This means supporting our consumers, teams and the community itself.

Today, after more than 130 years, Bata has remained true to its core principle: to know its customers and to create the best possible products to meet their needs. We have a portfolio company with multiple brands and labels, such as Bata, North Star, Power, Bubblegummers, Weinbrenner, Toughees.
