At SG Companies, our story spans more than 125 years, rooted in craftsmanship, guided by relationships, and driven by vision.

Since 1896, we've evolved from a small footwear shop on New York City's Lower East Side into a trusted name in the industry. In 1931, we opened a factory in New Jersey, proudly making footwear there for decades. While production began moving overseas in the 1980s to meet growing demand and changing global dynamics, the factory remained an important part of our heritage until its official closure in 2022. We are proud to still call New Jersey home.

Our foundation is built on decades of trusted expertise, a commitment to craft, and a deep respect for the relationships that fuel our business. As we look ahead, we remain focused on creating meaningful connections through thoughtful design, authentic storytelling, and a forward-thinking approach to brand building.

With one foot grounded in our rich heritage and the other stepping into the future, we continue to evolve - championing our people, empowering our partners, and delivering product with purpose.
