Sport is our world. This makes us passionate about designing, developing, selling and marketing footwear, apparel and accessories. In 70 years, PUMA has established a history as creator of fast product designs for the fastest athletes on the planet: Enhancing areas such as football, running and training, golf and motorsports with performance and sport-inspired lifestyle products. To push sport forward in more than 120 countries, more than 13.000 people work for a common goal and call Herzogenaurach, Germany, PUMA's headquarters.
Puma has been successful in being a cool brand having presence in F1, Futbol, Celebrities, and much more. For that, the key factors for Puma are:
Pushing the limits means challenging yourself. PUMA hosted with @Hype the Football Innovation Sprint event to open doors to students from all over the world and connect with unique thinkers. They all had a chance to pitch ideas and to push themselves beyond their comfort zone
PUMA continues to make progress in key areas, which includes further enhancements of PUMA’s International Trading Organization. This manages global order and invoice flows centrally, the roll-out of a new product development system, further standardization of ERP systems, and improvements to the overall IT infrastructure.
PUMA has continuously improved the quality of its distribution. At the same time, we’ve expanded our presence in key sports performance and sportstyle accounts around the world. We remain dedicated to strengthening our relationships with key retailers by being a reliable partner for them, and by maximizing PUMA’s contribution to their business. It is a clear objective for PUMA that retail partners make money with our products.
Women are a priority for PUMA. We acknowledge women not only as trendsetters in taking inspiration from athletic wear for their everyday style, but they’re increasingly participating in athletic activities worldwide. Building on PUMA’s fashion credibility and sports authenticity, as well as a profound understanding of the modern female athletic consumer, we have positioned our offer for women “where the gym meets the runway”.
PUMA can look back on an extraordinary history full of innovations, designs and products. Our influence can be felt in the sports and sports lifestyle industries till this day. And we’re determined to keep it that way. If you ask us, innovation is at the heart of product design. Naturally, we constantly sharpen our design principles: With products like the CREEPER and the FIERCE, we have introduced some of the industry’s most eye-catching, but also commercial styles.
The strength of PUMA’s brand? We draw from our unique heritage in sports and our high credibility in the latest lifestyle trends. To stay on this track, we strengthen our position as a sports brand through partnerships with some of the most elite athletes, such as sprint legend Usain Bolt and star striker Antoine Griezmann. To connect with young trend-setting audiences, we have also developed a unique way of working with cultural and fashion icons like Cara Delevingne and Selena Gomez.

The technology platform Fit Intelligence (Fi) is designed to automate and finetune performance for our footwear. The very first Fi footwear style is a self-lacing training shoe made for workouts and light running.
Tiny zeros and ones tell a micromotor to power a uniquely configured cable system that laces the shoe. All you have to do is swipe up or down on the Fi module. You can also control the lacing using a smartphone app.
Does that work? Oh yes, it does! None other than global technology investment icon By McLaughlin put Fi to test.
