As a result, Vibram USA and Quabaug will create Quabuag Vibram Innovation (QVI). This merger will ensure Vibram maintains the US-based craftsmanship, which is something the company proudly announced, especially aimed at their North American customers.

Vibram is also expecting to focus its resources on the development and commercialization of North American products, while investing in new and advanced manufacturing technologies and equipment.

During their five-decade partnership, Quabuag and Vibram have collaborated in the design and manufacture of rubber compounds such as Megagrip, Idrogrip and XS Grip.
