‘HISTORY’

In the year 1975 with a production capacity of 1500 pairs per day, Paragon made its humble entry into the Indian market. Kerala, the southernmost tip of the country was home to the young brand. Known as ‘Gods own Country’ or ‘Land of Rubber ’, Kerala has a 90 % share of India’s natural rubber production. In the year 1982, after gaining popularity in its home state of Kerala, Paragon began its passage into the other Indian states.

The company’s distribution of footwear is networked through 15 depots across India. Retail shop keepers are serviced by more than 300 distributors, delivering stocks to every corner of the country in the shortest possible time. The company strongly believes that its greatest strength is its staff and its distributors.

As a brand that sells all over the country, Paragon needs little or no introduction in the Indian sub-continent. While rubber footwear continues to be its leading product, the Paragon brand name brings its longstanding assurance of quality and durability to a full range of other footwear products made of Poly-urethane (PU), Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC), Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and Thermo Plastic Rubber (TPR) soles too. Paragon also has an in-house footwear design team dedicated to creating new designs and models to keep up with market demand.

The Paragon Group of companies is considered No. 1 in the organized rubber footwear sector. Today, Paragon’s total production capacity (in-house) is 400,000 pairs a day. Apart from in-house production, the No.1 Footwear Company has also outsourced production of footwear in Bangalore, Calcutta and other places.
