Nestled within the land, beneath the beautiful African sky and a stunning natural backdrop, Bata’s factory has called Loskop in KwaZulu-Natal home since 1977. The Loskop factory produces the amazing Toughees School Shoes as well as a variety of gum boots and safety shoes at an average of 300 000 shoes per month. That’s an astounding 3,300 000 shoes a year! Bata’s production success is attributed to our South African people and by locally producing many of our shoes, we have helped boost both the local and national economies whilst providing our customers with better value for their money.
