About
STEP BY STEP
When Jacob Rohner founded his sock company in 1930 in the small town of Balgach in the Swiss Rhine Valley, he had a revolutionary idea in mind. He wanted to create a sock that would stand out for its performance, comfort, quality and design. An essential companion for the most demanding conditions and activities. Using circular knitting machines, the finest natural materials and with an attention to detail that only the Swiss could perfect, ROHNER broke new ground and exceeded all expectations for a sock.
MADE IN EUROPE
Environmentally friendly and fair production is very important to us. That is why over 95% of our products are now manufactured in Europe. With our main site in Portugal, we can keep production routes as short as possible and avoid long supply chains. This enables us to work quickly and efficiently and reduce CO2 emissions by shortening transportation routes. We maintain an exceptionally good and trusting relationship with our suppliers and manufacturers. We greatly appreciate this direct contact, as it simplifies communication enormously.
BY YOUR SIDE EVERY STEP OF LIFE
The right sock matters. Whether you’re running, hiking, skiing, or enjoying the cold weather, our ROHNER socks travel with you on unforgettable expeditions or just through everyday life. We invite you to experience the world of ROHNER socks and are proud to be your companion every step of the way.
QUALITY ENGINEERED IN EUROPE
Over at ROHNER we've entered into partnerships with leading manufacturers in Portugal in order to develop and produce the best socks for you. In 2018, we invested in our own production center in Barcelos, Portugal. Over 40 state-of-the-art Giavanni Busi machines were installed. This enables us to offer you the highest standard in textile products.
OUR VISION: TRADITION & TRANSPARENCY
We are the legacy of years of research and development of a single product: socks. At first glance, a trivial and forgotten item of clothing. But at second glance, socks are the key to our health and our daily activities. That's why we follow Jacob Rohner's vision and offer our customers the best possible product and constantly develop new technologies.
