Overview

The Company

Around the globe, New Balance is recognized as a leading manufacturer of high-performance athletic footwear and apparel. The company’s objective is straightforward -- equip the elite and everyday athlete with footwear, apparel and accessories that provide the best performance, fit, quality and comfort.

Headquartered in Boston, MA, New Balance manufactures and markets technically innovative, width-sized performance footwear and apparel for women, men, and children.

Over the past few years New Balance’s growth has significantly out-paced that of the industry. Worldwide sales have grown from $221 million in 1992 to more than $2 billion today. As a privately held company, New Balance has remained committed to a focused set of philosophies and strengths -- including technical superiority, width-sizing, U.S. manufacturing, grassroots promotions and strong partnerships with its retailers and suppliers. Teamwork, total customer satisfaction and integrity are the core values upon which New Balance operates, and the company’s tremendous success can be credited to its unyielding commitment to these values.
Culture

Anne Davis, NB vice chairperson and NB Foundation managing trustee, coined the now NB-famous phrase "at New Balance doing good is just as important as doing well." This rings true throughout the company where our associates are dedicated to giving back to our community. Our Community Connection program allows associates to volunteer with local nonprofit organizations during work hours, together with their department or with cross functional teams. We also encourage associates to volunteer on their own time, and we support these efforts with our Dollars-for-Doers program which provides financial gifts to organizations at which associates volunteer.
Our associates are always on the move. They move our business and also move themselves. Associates take part in all kinds of movement activities including “bike to work days” on site yoga, National Running Day, work-time walks, a movement mentor program and after-work recreation teams. In addition our associates love to move and be active when they’re not at work by participating in Run to Home Base, Pan Mass Challenge, Falmouth Road Race, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and many other NB sponsored events.
Careers

While the company looks to achieve strategic goals, each associate is encouraged to mold their development process and conquer their professional aspirations. We believe in development programs which help grow associates’ careers and professional skills.


In addition to on-site learning and development classes and a tuition reimbursement plan, NB offers “InsideOut.” This coaching program gives managers a unique approach to development through management coaching. Additionally, all global associates participate in our Cornerstones program within their first quarter of employment. This on-boarding program will immerse you in the NB culture and strategy. We also offer an in-depth mentoring program, which includes executive participation, to enhance development conversations. We know for our business to succeed, each associate must succeed.
Enduring Purpose





Today, New Balance is home to five U.S. factories and one UK factory. We are proud to hold the distinction as the only major company to manufacture footwear in the U.S. and UK.
