Over the past 100 years New Balance has grown substantially by forging a reputation for a commitment to performance and quality, producing an unrivaled extensive selection of combinations of widths and sizes, while actively supporting domestic manufacturing when possible. New Balance manufactures shoes in five factories across New England, the U.S., and one in England where the factory in the Lake District employs 220 production staff. This short film takes us to the Flimby factory’s “Vault,” where Chris Hodgson talks about the dedication and ingenuity that goes into every New Balance shoe forged in the factory. With 30 years of excellence to celebrate, take a trip down memory lane. Check out the whole Flimby experience at the new VisitFlimby.com site.
