Mission For over a century we've supported athletes in their pursuit of excellence, whether that means winning a medal, setting a personal record, or just taking steps toward a more active lifestyle. We’re proud of that history, but we’re even more excited about our future. We innovate relentlessly, guided by our core values and inspired by the belief that conventions were meant to be challenged.
Description In 1906, New Balance began as a humble one-man operation and has since grown into an international corporation, selling footwear and apparel in over 120 countries and employing over 10,000 associates worldwide. With an unparalleled focus on quality and craftsmanship, we’ve come to set the standard for comfort and fit in an industry all too often driven by hype.
We’re incredibly proud of our history and how far we’ve come, but companies don’t thrive for over a century by being content.
Whether it’s setting a new style trend, retooling our manufacturing process, or building a new state-of-the-art headquarters, we pursue innovation with a spirit of fearless independence. As the only privately held major footwear company in the world, we’re free to do things our way, pushing limits and testing boundaries as we continually reimagine what could be.
We are a company that cares, and our culture is one of integrity and teamwork where together we become greater than the sum of our parts.
