Weinbrenner Shoe Company, Inc., the parent company of the Thorogood brand, is breaking ground on a new state-of-the-art facility in Marshfield, WI.
“We manufacture Thorogood boots for America’s working men and women and believe in supporting the union laborers that are the foundation of our company,” said company President Jeff Burns. “We invited both union and non-union trade partners to bid, and we are proud that union firms won the majority of the work.”
The company said the new facility is poised to expand Weinbrenner’s manufacturing capabilities, supporting further job creation and boosting the local economy.
“This project continues to underscore Weinbrenner’s mission: supporting American labor, union craftsmanship, and building quality Thorogood work boots that workers across the nation can rely on,” the company noted.
“Consistent with our heritage of producing Union-made in the USA boots for hardworking men and women, the company continues to prioritize partnerships with unionized trade contractors during the construction of this project,” the company said in a media release. “Where union labor was an available option, union firms captured nearly 80 percent of the contracts. This achievement reflects our dedication to supporting American workers and ensuring that union labor remains a cornerstone of our manufacturing process.”
