Shoe fits for Clarks

CLARKS, the British shoemaker and retailer, will return to large-scale manufacturing in the UK for the first time in over a decade when a new factory in southwest England joins plants in Vietnam and India to make its iconic Desert Boot.

The 193-year-old firm, which operates in over 90 markets, said the new plant next to its headquarters in Street, Somerset, will have the capacity to make up to 300,000 pairs of Desert Boots a year and will give it shorter lead times.

Clarks’ last plant in the UK, in northwest England, closed in 2006 after production was moved to the Far East.
