This year was 1963. Driven by curiosity, Danish shoemaker Carl Tusby hopes to pursue newer ideas and create more possibilities in the field of shoemaking. So he sold all his possessions and quit his job in Copenhagen, and moved to Brazer Brow, a southern town in jutland, Denmark, with his wife Birte and five-year-old daughter Hanni. There, he bought a vacant factory and started to build a shoe factory. 1963-The first pair of ECCO shoes At first, the shoes produced by this new Danish shoe factory were similar to other brands in the industry, and they were all popular styles. But Carl Tusby was determined to break with tradition. He was the first shoemaker who put forward the idea that "shoes must follow two feet", and it was this idea that laid the future mission of ECCO. From 196s to early 197s, the fashion trend changed rapidly: one day it was miniskirts and tight boots, the next day it was patent leather flats, and then platform shoes began to lead the trend. In such an environment, the factory insists on its own development. Nevertheless, Karl Tusby is still pursuing his dream of making shoes, hoping to combine comfort, excellent quality and relaxed and natural style into a pair of shoes with great value for money. In 1963-the brand was named Venus in 1968-the brand was renamed ECCO Let. At first, all the shoes produced were named Venus, but due to copyright conflicts, Karl Tusby and chief designer Ejnar Truelsen decided to find a new name for the brand. They want the new brand name to consist of two syllables, which is easy to read and can be easily pronounced in Danish or other languages. At the same time, they got inspiration from Coca-Cola's brand identity, hoping that their company could have a very clear brand identity. At first, they renamed the brand Eo'let, which was used until 1978, and then changed it to ECCO, which is now widely known. 1975-The first year of overseas production, ECCO began to produce uppers in Brazil, making ECCO the first Danish enterprise to produce them overseas. 1978-ECCO released JOKE series, which gave birth to ECCO's epoch-making classic design in the hands of young talent Ejnar Truelsen. JOKE series of men's and women's shoes and children's shoes designed by Ejnar Truelsen were officially launched in 1978, and became the brand symbol shoes of ECCO in one fell swoop. Today, JOKE series is still the symbol and classic of ECCO brand. 198-Revolution in the Shoe-making Industry Karl Tusby insisted that design innovation should pay equal attention to production innovation. It is precisely because of this concept that it is a natural thing for ECCO to buy the first molding machine in 198, which is matched with a set of revolutionary shoemaking production processes. At this point, ECCO has the ability to simplify the production process of vamp and sole mold into a simple process, which is a solid foundation and guarantee for the comfort and flexibility of ECCO shoes. 1981-ECCO SOFT series has become a representative of a new generation of light and comfortable shoes because of the new technology of one-step molding of uppers and soles. ECCO SOFT series has become a classic, largely due to its timeless line design and simple shape. ECCO SOFT series is the best-selling shoes in the company's history, which has achieved excellent sales results in northern Europe and attracted unprecedented attention in other European regions. 1984-The first wholly-owned factory of ECCO was completed in Portugal.

ECCO was the first shoemaker to print the brand name and logo on the sole. It can be said that it is precisely because of this move that the ECCO brand has spread to all parts of the world with the walk. 1985-ECCO began to produce leather by itself. With the continuous expansion of ECCO, its demand for leather raw materials also increased. In 1985, ECCO began to produce its own leather in its leather processing plant in Portugal.

More importantly, as the designated supplier of the Royal Danish Stadium, it must have a sound financial situation and a good reputation and management system. In 1992, the cumulative production of ECCO reached 1 million pairs of shoes, and the cumulative production of 1 million pairs in that year set a new milestone for ECCO.
