In 2003 Marianne Bisgaard and Henrik Thomsen made a deal. He would get the third child he wished for in return for giving up his management position to become his wife’s business partner.
At that time, Marianne ran three shoe stores but was still dreaming of designing and manufacturing shoes herself. The couple has strong personal values and qualities. She is creative and innovative while Henrik has a more structured approach and a passion for sales and marketing. In 2005 the dream became reality. The couple began to produce children’s shoes with a simple motto: Good fit, quality materials and innovative design.
Since then, the couple has never looked back. Parents and children in many parts of the world have fallen hook, line and sinker for the unique, rugged design and the premium quality that is characteristic of a pair of bisgaard shoes. bisgaard now has more than 700 distributors in 18 different countries and is an established international enterprise with a team of highly professional and energetic employees, who clearly demonstrate that they are very proud to work with bisgaard footwear.
