New Balance is one of several shoe companies that makes some of their products in the United States. Co-op America states in the New Balance Responsible Shopper company information page that around one quarter of NB's shoes are made in the United States[2]. New Balance owns five factories in the United States: two in Massachusetts (Boston and Lawrence), and three in Maine (Norridgewock, Skowhegan, and Norway). [3]
In 1994, New Balance manufactured 70% of its shoes in the United States.[4]
The New Balance production facility in the United Kingdom has been since 1991 at Flimby, Cumbria in North West England, where 28,000 pairs of shoes are produced each week.
