Independent since 1906, we empower people through sport and craftsmanship to create positive change around the world.

About us

In 1906, New Balance began as a humble one-man operation founded on the belief that “we were born to move,” and has since grown into an international corporation, selling footwear and apparel in over 120 countries and employing over 8,000 associates worldwide. Our mission has always been to support the performance of athletes, and 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. After all, the status quo isn’t static. But doing things our way wouldn’t mean much if we weren’t also doing them the right way. We invest in our associates as they invest in us, and as we move forward, we make a point of giving back, supporting communities around us through ambitious philanthropic efforts and involvement programs. 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.

  • At New Balance, we're committed to developing talent from within and believe career development is more than climbing a ladder. There are multi-directional and non-linear paths for associates to grow. Dennis Merrick, a Domestic Mechanic Manager in Maine, is approaching 25 years with New Balance this spring. From computer stitching styles like the original 990 in 2004, to graduating from our leader in training program nearly a decade later, his career journey has been nothing short of exciting. "Every role I've had—from operating a machine, to fixing machines, to leading a production team, and then a mechanic team—there have been skills that were essential to the next move in my career,” said Dennis, who has always made it a goal to grow his existing skills and develop new ones. Dennis acknowledges that career journeys are unique, with many paths leading to professional and personal growth. As a brand, we celebrate associates who have championed and supported internal growth by changing teams, departments and locations. "This company has grown and given us a chance to grow with it," said Dennis. "New Balance has always given back to the associates as well as their communities.” We're so happy you're part of the New Balance family, Dennis! Interested in growing your career at New Balance?

  • Meet Olivia Verheyen (Watson), a Consumer Insights & Analytics Manager at New Balance. When you first meet her, it’s hard not to be struck by her optimism and positivity. Her core values of service, love, growth, integrity and collaboration drive everything she does and constantly push her to be a better version of herself. During an internship in college, Olivia first fell in love with data and storytelling. After that experience, she knew she wanted a career in that space, which eventually led her to New Balance. These days, Olivia collaborates across the business to combine data with the voice of the consumer to help drive key go-to-market decisions. "Being at those key go-to-market milestones is really exciting. But my favorite part of these projects – outside of speaking with our consumers – is the collaboration and teamwork that happens behind the scenes," said Olivia. "I can’t say enough about how lucky I am to get to work with, and learn from, amazing associates all across the business." Her advice for others? Sometimes the best learnings come from tough challenges. Keeping a growth mindset and seeing a challenge as an opportunity can make all the difference.

  • At New Balance, we prioritize professional development and give our associates the tools, support and opportunities to nurture their ongoing growth and success. As part of this commitment, we've established internal learning platforms that provide associates across the globe with access to high-quality skill-based learning content, personalized recommendations, networking opportunities and other tools for career growth. Alessio Bustillo, a Planning Analyst at our Lawrence, Massachusetts office, has already taken several internal business analytics and AI prompting courses. "These courses have transformed my daily workflow," said Alessio. "I find it a tremendous benefit that we are supported in furthering our growth. New Balance does a great job of opening doors and providing the right resources for all levels of development." Alessio is enrolled at a local college next spring, where he will continue his education in data analytics with support from New Balance's benefits package. His advice for associates hoping to gain new skills is simple: start small. “I looked at the skills I wanted to improve on or gain and then put them into either a near-term or long-term bucket. I know it will be different for everyone, but getting the ball rolling was the hardest part." Ready to grow your career at New Balance?

  • New Balance puts our people first in everything we do. Last year, we opened our new Amsterdam office, offering more space, great facilities and a superb working environment for our growing team in the Dutch capital. Located within a historic bicycle factory and close to the airport, hotels, parks and cafes, our new home stands out as a "go to" destination. The open-concept office is home to many of our direct-to-consumer associates, our EMEA Creative Studio and is a stone's throw away from nature.
