El Naturalista, the Spanish-based manufacturer of eco-friendly, footwear and accessories, opened its new U.S. headquarters. Located in Somerset, NJ, near the Port of New York, the new building will house sales, marketing and distribution.

With more than 5000 points of sale in 52 countries and an export rate of 93%, El Naturalista said the new headquarters positions it for further growth in the U.S.

“We are excited by the growing awareness of the El Naturalista brand in the United States,” said Steve Libonati, U.S. CEO for El Naturalista. “American shoppers are becoming increasingly enthusiastic about El Naturalista's blend of comfort and fashion. Expanding our U.S. footprint was a natural next step and the fashion-forward New York City area is the perfect place both logistically and inspirationally to position our new headquarters.”
