When Heinrich Krämer started in the shoe trade in 1930, nobody would have guessed the success story that has developed from those humble beginnings.
For that we give our thanks for the support, loyalty and trust of our valued customers.
Today more than 45 employees in the office, warehouse and field service provide a reliable partnership with our customers and suppliers both at home and abroad.
At our premises in Lippstadt a warehouse of 13,000 sqm and modern logistics ensure the efficient handling of your orders, mostly within 24 hours. From here we service our European customers as well as those in North and South America.
| 1930 |
Heinrich Krämer starts his own business as a sales agent for shoes |
| 1938 |
The commercial agency turns into a wholesale trade for shoes, shoemaker's accessories and leather goods. |
| 1946 |
The wholesale house increasingly takes national brands of the shoe sector in its program. |
| 1950 - 1960 |
The trading firm Krämer expands the product range: International shoe brands are now added to our growing collection |
| 1960 - 1970 |
In addition to trading: ISM develops and manufactures its own ranges of ladies and children's shoes. |
| 1970 - 1980 |
Beside the domestic production, ISM extends the manufacturing area of high-quality shoes abroad. |
| 1980 - 1990 |
The success does not remain limited to the shoe fashion sector: In the 80's ISM expands its collection to include shoes and textiles for work and leisure. |
| 1990 - 2000 |
During this time the stabilisation and strengthening of international manufacturing is the focus of all activities, particular in the sector of safety shoes and own brand textile collections. |
| 2000 - heute |
With the acquisition of the worldwide license rights for PUMA safety shoes, the launch and re-launch of the FOOTGUARD and ALBATROS brands and the inclusion of partly exclusive rights of sale for TRETORN rubber boots, ISM further extends its brand strength.
As a competent system supplier for the specialised trade ISM can generate further growth nationwide and internationally with new and existing customer groups.
