Founded in 2009 in Campina Grande, in the state of Paraíba (in Northeast Brazil), Tess Industria was designed to ensure high rates of recycling and reuse of raw materials. The Tess team, part of the S2 Group, which comprises 2,200 people, develops outsoles, insoles, and uppers with a high capacity for reuse.

​

The S2 Group is responsible for the production and commercialization of footwear and lifestyle products for the brands Cantão, Redley, and Kenner in Brazil and worldwide. S2’s commitment is to develop brands and products that last a long time. The longevity of the shoes is another factor that contributes to environmental preservation: if a product lasts longer, it produces less waste, builds trust, and delights the customer. The robust ESG strategy results in a social responsibility policy focused on people, with respect for diversity and encouragement of education. The S2 Group is widely recognized as a pioneer in creating iconic products, including the premium sandal segment in Brazil. Therefore, it is understood that now is the time to expand worldwide with our products, values, and expertise in design and production.
