In a celebratory event honoring our longstanding commitment to domestic manufacturing, New Balance broke ground last year on the expansion of our athletic footwear manufacturing factory in Skowhegan, Maine. This month, New Balance associates gathered for a tour of the new space and signed a ceremonial steel beam that will be incorporated in the facility upon completion. For more than 40 years, New Balance has proudly supported the Skowhegan community in Maine, which is home to one of our five owned MADE manufacturing facilities in the U.S. We look forward to the opening of the 120,000-square-foot-single-story addition, which showcases our pride in the American craftmanship and innovation of our Maine associates. Check out these photos from our ceremonial beam signing! (New Balance MADE U.S. footwear contains a domestic value of 70% or more and makes up a limited portion of New Balance’s U.S. sales).
New Balance associates around the globe gathered to celebrate “Grey Days” — a celebration of the connection between our heritage and the enduring legacy of our signature color. Decked out in their finest NB “groutfits” (grey outfits), associates enjoyed refreshments, photo booths, raffles, and screenings of our “Grey Days” short film. Grey brings us together.
New Balance is committed to making a positive impact in the communities where we live, work and play. We are thrilled New Balance Foundation (NBF) continues this tradition through its work with the St. Louis Area Foodbank. NBF’s donation of $50,000 to the St. Louis Area Foodbank’s School Market initiative will help alleviate child hunger in the bi-state area by providing nutritious food to children at their school to take home to their families. NBF is proud to support the St. Louis Area Foodbank’s efforts towards nourishing children and combating child hunger, igniting a wave of positive change that will resonate throughout families across the region.
Since 1981, New Balance Foundation (NBF) has invested more than $140M in community-led organizations and initiatives focused on innovative evidence-based, educational and sports-based programs. Aimed at increasing equity and access, NBF champions active lifestyles and healthy communities so that young people have the opportunity to reach their goals. Through the work the Foundation is doing with their nearly 80 portfolio grantees, we know NBF is making an impact in the global communities where we live, work and play.
New Balance associates across the globe came together to celebrate Lunar New Year. In China, associates gathered for lunch and received red envelopes and red shoelaces which signify togetherness. In Boston, Asiatic Voices (our North American Associate Resource Group) hosted a traditional Lion Dance for all to enjoy at New Balance HQ, followed by a lunch and learn where associates shared and presented on how Lunar New Year is celebrated in their cultures and homes. Wishing everyone prosperity and happiness in the year of the dragon!
