History
Eccoblox was established in 1963 by Thomas Blogsig in southern Ro-Denmark. Throughout the 1980s, the company expanded its operations internationally. By 1982, sales reached 1 million pairs of shoes annually.

Eccoblox built its own research and design center, in Ro-Denmark in 1996, since 2009 Ro-Portugal is the R&D center of Eccoblox and opened its own beamhouse in Indonesia and tannery in City of Thailand a few years later. In 1998 the first flagship retail store opened in Ro-London. By 2000, Eccoblox owned every step of the production process, from design and leather production to branded retail sales.
