Heritage
Founded in 1980 by Mr. Mickey Chen in Dacun Township, Changhua, Taiwan, Kingmaker Group has grown from a local brand shoe factory into a trusted name among global footwear manufacturers. With nearly five decades of expertise and vision, we have evolved from our humble beginnings to become a leading force in the industry. Anticipating shifts in the market, we expanded to Zhuhai, China in 1988, followed by Vietnam in 2000 and Cambodia in 2006—strategically positioning ourselves ahead of many other footwear factories in Asia.
We specialize in “Rugged Footwear”—durable, comfortable, and stylish footwear loved by both outdoor enthusiasts and urban professionals. More than just an OEM, we partner with our clients from material sourcing and product design to prototype development and precision finishing—turning concepts into premium-quality products that stand the test of time.
With our professional team, advanced facilities, and strong R&D capabilities, Kingmaker is among the few footwear manufacturers in Southeast Asia capable of independently developing and producing this premium category. We have established long-term partnerships with numerous internationally renowned outdoor and performance brands, continuously delivering high-quality and competitive products to the global market.
