In 1955, the founder of pedag, Hartmut Schelchen , decided to fill a gap in the German foot care market and became a pioneer in this field. Hartmut Schelchen is behind the development of the world's first patented orthopedic insole.
The combination of the best beef and an activated carbon filter ranks the VIVA ® orthopedic insole among our premium products to this day.
The company pedag is located on the outskirts of Berlin and currently employs 200 masters in their field. Only thanks to personal contact between employees, selling experience and traditional production in combination with modern technologies can we always be flexible and one step ahead. A personal approach is important to us not only in production, but also in our relationship with customers and clients in more than 50 countries around the world. We have been in the Czech Republic and Slovakia alone for almost 30 years.
In the development of our products, we cooperate with the less recognized orthopedists, chemists and other experts. We select the best materials and pay attention to every detail of the production process, including inspection of the finished product. Our philosophy is care, ecology and a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, all products are created by hand, we use the highest quality natural ingredients and the entire production process is as gentle as possible to nature. The proof is our first Eco-friendly impregnation on the market.
