OrthoLite has inaugurated its first factory in Vietnam, which is set to produce about 3 million pairs of open-cell foam insoles per month. The new 13,000-square-meter facility is located in Thuan An Town, in the Binh Duong province, one of the biggest industrial areas in the country and about 45 minutes from Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon. The company already has two partner factories in Vietnam, as well as two factories in China, two partner factories in South Korea, and one partner factory in Indonesia. The new plant in Thuan An Town will employ about 300 workers. OrthoLite aims to increase brand awareness among local footwear brands and factories and to supply its products with shorter lead times, with local customer service. Headquartered in Amherst, Massachusetts, OrthoLite is a leading supplier of open-cell foam performance insoles to top footwear brands including Adidas, Nike, Puma, New Balance, Merrell and others.
