The tale of Mongrel Boots
Mongrel redoubled its commitment to Australian manufacturing by making significant investments in a novel 30-station Desma direct injection molding machine equipped with Amir® technology – a pioneering endeavor in the Australian landscape that endures as a hallmark of innovation.
Ninety years since its inception, Victor Footwear perseveres in its pursuit of boot manufacturing within Australia. The Cloros lineage spans five generations, with three generations actively engaged in steering the Mongrel Boots enterprise, thereby weaving an indelible narrative of Australian excellence.
