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 14,000 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.

For Ives Lim, the last five years at New Balance have been defined by growth, learning and embracing new opportunities. Today, as ASEAN Distribution Business Manager, Ives works across Southeast Asia, supporting market development and helping drive long-term growth and success across a dynamic region. No two weeks look the same. Business reviews, planning sessions, market visits and cross-functional alignment meetings all play a role in helping the markets succeed. Ives credits New Balance’s culture for helping shape his journey. “New Balance has always made me feel that I belong. The trust, opportunities and support I have received throughout my journey have allowed me to grow both personally and professionally.” Throughout his career, Ives has relied on New Balance’s core values to guide his approach to leadership and collaboration. He leans on the importance of integrity and maintaining a relentless focus on delivering the best possible experience for consumers. “Looking back, the achievements that matter most are not just the business results, but the people we have developed, the partnerships we have built and the journey we have shared together.” Thank you, Ives, for the impact you make across the region every day.

If you’ve spent time with Megan Walters (Merchandise Manager, New Zealand), you’ll quickly notice two things: her passion for New Balance and her enthusiasm for helping others succeed. Starting her journey in Customer Service in 2011, Megan has grown through multiple roles across the business and now leads merchandising across footwear and apparel for New Zealand. Whether she’s supporting key retailers, bringing product stories to life at consumer events or mentoring colleagues, Megan leads with connection, curiosity and a people-first mindset. “Who are we without the end consumer? They are always at the forefront of my mind,” said Megan. After more than a decade with New Balance, it’s still the people who inspire her most. “They are more than colleagues,” she said. “I have been through all of life’s biggest milestones with these people and they are who keep me showing up.” Thank you, Megan, for your passion, leadership and dedication to helping both people and product thrive.
