Production capacity to expand at Stella International
Footwear group Stella International has reported revenues of $775.1 million for the first six months of 2025. This represents a small increase in revenue, of 0.7%, compared to the same period last year.
In terms of volume, the Hong Kong-based group said it shipped around 27.5 million pairs of shoes in the first half of this year, an increase of 3.8%.
Chairman, Lawrence Chen, said the group was finalising a new three-year plan, which will start in 2026. He said that, in the course of that plan, Stella intends to increase its annual production capacity by around 20 million pairs.
This would take the group’s footwear production to almost 75 million pairs per year.
At the same time, Mr Chen explained, the group will accelerate the development of its handbag and accessories manufacturing business. He said Stella views leathergoods as “an important long-term growth driver”.
