Bata has been manufacturing footwear for over 100 years. Bata personnel made key advances in several footwear production techniques in use today, including the Direct Vulcanization Process (DVP) and slush-moulding. Bata inventors also patented the original process that adhered PVC outsoles to textile uppers.
During the 1990’s additional patents have been awarded, including one for the first removable heel cartridge system for athletic performance footwear.
Most of Bata manufacturing facilities have passed stringent ISO 9000 certification, with others presently in the certification process.
