CAT Footwear is the partnership between two well-established leaders in their field Caterpillar Inc and Wolverine World Wide. One is the lead manufacturer in heavy equipment, the other the leader in non-athletic footwear. Both established over 100 years ago, both operating on the global playing field since the 1950's... Wolverine World Wide Inc, founded in 1883, became the sole global licensee for CAT Footwear in 1994. Since that time business has grown to yield 6 million pair annually, and is sold in over 140 countries. The product line has evolved from basic work boots to a wide range of industrial and industrial-fashion patterns that appeal to a global consumer base. Attracting work and work-inspired consumers, CAT Footwear is the brand of choice for today's global youth.

BOVA cemented their reputation in Africa by delivering high quality engineering through their range of safety footwear. 21 years after producing their first safety boot, BOVA extended their portfolio to include work wear and fall arrest systems. Different employees within the same industry often require very different levels of protection. Through an understanding of the varied dangers faced by an employee in their work environment and applying the correct product, clients can ensure that they do not under-spec for some employees, thereby compromising on safety or over-spec for others – and compromise on cost-effectiveness. All Bova products are manufactured in ISO 9001 accredited facilities, utilising cutting-edge technology and innovations. In this way, we can ensure that what we release into the market performs with the purpose for which it was engineered.
