Abstract

People don't know that Poland is so skilled and well equipped", explains Karol Kudra, the chairman of PGPO, in an interview with Shoe Intelligence. Created in 2019, Polska Grupa Producentów Obuwia (PGPO) is a proactive grouping of more than 50 Polish shoemakers largely based in the southern province of Malopolskie, the country's main footwear cluster, aiming to promote their industry which has been badly hit by Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. Malopolskie is home to some 900 companies of the footwear supply chain, of which more than half are in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, including Rylko, Poland's largest shoemaker.
