About the Company

New Balance

Privately held footwear and apparel manufacturer

New Balance is a major footwear and apparel company that sells athletic shoes and clothing in more than 120 countries. It focuses on performance, quality, and craftsmanship to ensure comfort and a good fit for athletes. The company’s products are built through careful design and manufacturing choices to enhance movement and support, rather than relying on hype or fad trends. What sets New Balance apart is that it remains privately held, which the company says allows it to act independently and pursue its own standards without shareholder pressure, while continuing to invest in its associates and communities. New Balance aims to push boundaries—whether by updating styles, improving production methods, or expanding its headquarters—while maintaining integrity and teamwork. Its broader goal is to help people move well, support athletes, and contribute positively to the communities in which it operates.
