Equator - The Belt Factory™

We aren’t perfect and don’t claim to be. We believe in being transparent about our achievements and challenges. Being transparent in the #supplychain will also be a part of how people make their buying decisions. We want people to know exactly where and how their #belt was made!

Our commitment to science forms part of everything we do: our understanding of changing consumer behaviour; our innovations in #rawmaterials, #sustainability & #technology. It's why we know how much energy it takes to make a #belt in our #factory (as little as your morning cuppa)

We're committed to innovating #rawmaterials: Increasingly ensuring ethics, quality & certifications of our raw materials. Using more #recycledleather & maintaining quality. Localising our #supplychain & developing new materials. Aiming to make the most responsible belt we can!

At Equator - the Belt Factory™, we focus on quality #craftsmanship and focusing even the smallest details. We listen to what our customers need, then aim to deliver the best possible product in response. A product that has great aesthetic, functionality and durability.

People power Equator - the Belt Factory™ and are at the heart of everything that we do! Without our team, none of what we do would be possible. Our people put the #craftsmanship into #craft.

Having achieved our #greenbuilding certification in 2020, our 2021 focus has, and will continue to be, on what our belts are made from. This includes working to innovate our supply chain through improved materials usage, localisation and transparency.

Our belts, which are manufactured in our 5-star rated Green Star Factory in Durban, are made to make you feel good, with a focus on comfort, wearability and longevity. #BuyLocal #MadeinSA

As part of our work with Knoop Academy, in which they use our leather offcuts in the Textile Conversion program they are running for The Go Group, our sample maker Goodman was excited to transfer his knowledge and teach the group to effectively work with the leather offcuts.
