GEOX shoes will be checked for safety

In the 2015 year, GEOX goes to a new level and signs an agreement with the German concern TÜV SÜD (Technische Überwachungs-Verein, "Association for Technical Supervision"), the world's largest expert engaged in independent examination and certification of products.

  • detergents (alkynophenols);

  • preservatives (chlorinated phenols, tin compounds, dimethyl fumarate);
