History

The origins of the group trace to 1968, when the late President Mr. Dong-nam Jung, born in Chunseong of Gangwondo, arrived in Seoul and started shoes repairing work; his manual dexterity was recognized and he learned how to make shoes, leading him to open a small shoe store in Jongno. In 1972, "ROVA," described as the first hiking boots adequate to Koreans, saw the light of day. At that time people used to go hiking wearing military boots and only imported trekking shoes were available; it was considered important to make hiking shoes suitable for Korean physical conditions and feet structure. Mr. Jung established a factory of hiking shoes called "Korean special shoes" in Cheonggyecheon of Seoul with only three sewing machines and six technicians. Having no contact to learn shoemaking technical skills, they focused on analyzing existing shoes in the market and made careful analysis of well-known overseas hiking boots in materials, structure and design, trying to fit them to the typical needs of Koreans. The group's outdoor brand K2 was created based on the spirit of challenge of Mt. K2. EIDER was born in Mont Blanc in 1962, the center of the French Alps, based on three basic visions: humility, conformity and harmony to mother nature; innovative challenge beyond limits; and unremitting efforts for high-technology products. WIDE ANGLE is a combination of Northern European naturalism and golf performance. DYNAFIT is made by athletes, for athletes, with core values of "speed" together with "technology," "lightness," and "endurance." NSAD is a street wear brand based on techwear, aiming for freedom with no restrictions and limitations, described as "No Strings Attached, NSAD." PIRETTI offers high-end golf apparel for golfers who pursue supreme value, with uncompromising craftsmanship, color, design and fine details. NORDISK pursues the value of Luxury, Sustainability, and Nordic Design under the belief that "Nature is Luxury." K2 Safety provides all-day safety with best function and design.
