Methuen, Massachusetts will be home to new ‘Factory of the Future’, according to NB Chairman Jim Davis.
As reported by local news outlet , this next American location makes a total of six factories producing Made in USA footwear – and the first factory that NB have opened in over 20 years.
NB will fill their recently purchased factory with 60 workers in a 7400+ square metre space, with emphasis on new manufacturing techniques, 3D printing technology, and R&D. So, we shouldn’t expect the volume of Made product to explode overnight, but we might see some exciting developments in the coming seasons!
This factory and its workers add to the 1300+ strong workforce, and three factories in Maine – plus one each in Brighton and Lawrence.
New Balance will be a brand to keep an even closer eye on now and into the future.
