Safety footwear never stands still — and neither do we.
The DOT Group continuously explores new materials, components and manufacturing technologies that can deliver meaningful improvements in weight, cushioning, flexibility, grip, durability and comfort.

Southern Africa remains the home of DOT Safety Footwear and the Group’s longest-established customer and distributor network.
Titan Safety Footwear supplies customers nationwide from its Manchester distribution centre, supported by an experienced local team and substantial UK stockholding.
The Group continues to build relationships with specialist distributors and strategic partners in selected international markets.
The DOT Group began in 2005.
Like many entrepreneurial businesses, the early years were about learning, adapting and identifying where we could create the most value.
One decision ultimately shaped everything that followed:
What began with a relatively small footwear range grew into a specialist international safety-footwear Group with multiple brands, significant stockholding and substantial product-development capability.
Today, the business is larger, the products are more advanced and the markets are broader.
But the principles behind the Group remain the same.
We believe long-term businesses are built through dependable products, strong relationships and doing what you say you are going to do.
Many customers and partners who supported us during our earlier years remain part of the Group today.
We consider that one of our greatest achievements.
