LaCrosse Footwear's Danner subsidiary received a $5.0 million GSA delivery order to supply boots to the U.S. military. The order will be for the Company's Desert Acadia boot, which is specifically designed to perform in desert combat conditions.
Shipments will begin in third quarter 2004 and be completed by the fourth quarter of the same year. The boots will be manufactured in the Company's ISO 9002 certified manufacturing facility located in Portland, Oregon. In the first quarter 2004, LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. completed the shipment of a $4.9 million GSA delivery order for the same style boot.
“We are very pleased to have received another order to supply Danner boots to the U.S. military,” said Joseph P. Schneider, President and CEO of LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. “Our boots are worn by elite government agencies, military and police units around the world because of their exceptional quality and performance. In response to this order, we are significantly increasing our production capability to ensure that we continue to maintain the high levels of service and delivery that all our customers have come to expect.”
