Obuv Rossii plans to create a factory on the territory of Linevo for the production of one-piece molded footwear and footwear bottoms made of polymer materials. The company already has experience in the production of polymer footwear, primarily from ethylene vinyl acetate: since 2014, an automated workshop for the production of such footwear has been operating in Novosibirsk. To date, Obuv Rossii has developed and introduced into production such an assortment as: slates, clogs made entirely of EVA and with a combination of EVA and other materials; women's winter boots-dutik and men's winter solid-cast boots for hunters and fishermen; summer women's shoes.
The range of footwear will be expanded at the Linevo site. The main distribution channel for the new production will be its own retail network, Obuv Rossii, which now numbers more than 580 stores; in three years, the company intends to expand it to 1000 stores. Also, the potential sales markets for the factory are the work footwear market: Obuv Rossii is already cooperating with large food industries to manufacture such footwear; and the market of footwear for hunting and fishing, where domestic products of decent quality are presented in small volumes.
The polymer footwear market is promising. According to Discovery Research Group estimates, its volume in 2017 amounted to 51,3 million pairs, an increase in relation to 2016 - 21,4%. Almost half of the volume of this market is domestic production, which is mainly represented in the South of Russia, the North Caucasus and in the European part of the country. In Siberia and the Far East, large-scale production of polymer footwear is virtually absent. According to DRG forecasts, the market will grow to 2020 million pairs by 63,8.
