ABOUT US
– A household brand with over 100 years of heritage
KIFIDIS is a leading orthopedic, footcare, and footwear brand with a heritage that spans across four generations. KIFIDIS was founded in 1919 as an Orthosis-Prosthesis Workshop and a leading manufacturer of orthopedic materials in Istanbul, Turkey.
The company was the first in Turkey to produce and sell orthopedic and medical products through pharmacies and other medical retailers. In 1974, KIFIDIS opened its first medical store, selling orthopedic supports and custom-made orthopedic shoes. With the realization that there was a need for quality anatomical shoes, KIFIDIS has become the first Turkish company to open an anatomical shoe store chain.
Over a century later, the brand stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and unwavering dedication to quality. From its humble, KIFIDIS has grown into a respected leader in the industry, known for its meticulous attention to detail and the use of high-quality materials.
In 2024, KIFIDIS launched its business in Northern Europe in cooperation with Karako Gol Global Partners as its exclusive representative in Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg) and DA (Germany and Austria) regions.
Our products are EC and MDR certified and fully compliant and localized to be imported and sold within the EU.
