Danner Women's Dessert Arcadia Boot

Danner is moving into a new factory in Portland, Ore., the company’s parent company LaCrosse Footwear announced earlier this month.

According to The Oregonian, this announcement came a week after the boot manufacturer posted record fourth-quarter sales,  a result of increasing demands for military and outdoor boots.

Located one mile from its corporate headquarters, the 59,000-square-foot facility is twice the size of its previous factory, which was also located in Portland. The company said the new facility would enable to meet a growing demand worldwide for its customers in the work, military, law enforcement, outdoor recreation, hunting and Japanese markets.

“Danner is an iconic brand, whose boots have been hand-crafted in Portland since 1933, incorporating the highest standards of design, materials and construction,” said Joseph Schneider, president and CEO of LaCrosse Footwear, in a prepared statement. “Our new facility will enable us to extend this great tradition of superior craftsmanship.”

According to BusinessWeek, Lacrosse posted sales of $139.2 million for 2009, a 9 percent year-over-year increase.
