Falke is known worldwide for their quality socks and hosiery developed over the last century. The German textile company was started in 1895 by Franz Falke-Rohen and to this day is still being run by his family. Initially knitting small quantities of socks they survived the impact of both world wars and expanded their operations beyond Germany.
For the next fifty years the company grew to well over a thousand employees, many operational branches throughout Germany and the acquisition of a few local knitwear competitors. With this in place they focused on the exporting side of the business setting up distribution branches in Europe and a few key destinations throughout the globe.
The extra demand due to exports forced them to spend the next twenty years focusing on increasing their production line output. Hence new production facilities were setup in Portugal, South Africa, Hungary and Austria.
The brand then established itself slowly as a major player in the fashion industry by exposing themselves to other industries through marketing and partnerships.
They collaborated with Giorgio Armani, sponsored sports teams and spent resources in developing new fabrics for the fashion industry as a whole.
