“Boston is an amazing city with a deep connection to our brands
and exceptional design and footwear talent, and we are excited to
open our first global Innovation Hub in the heart of downtown,”
said Chris Hufnagel, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Wolverine Worldwide. “With this Innovation Hub, our team of design,
development, and merchandising leaders are well-positioned to
design awesome products and continue transforming Wolverine
Worldwide into a consumer-focused builder of great global
brands.”
The 11,000-square-foot facility will accommodate employees from
the Company’s design and product teams, including Saucony product
team members in design, development, product management and
merchandising.
The opening comes one month after Wolverine Worldwide opened new
office space in Zhuhai, China, and two months after opening a new
workspace in Hong Kong. Additionally, the Company’s Sweaty Betty
brand relocated to new offices this summer following renovations to
the Company’s King’s Place office in London.
Renovations to the Company’s global headquarters in Michigan are
currently underway and new environments for Merrell and Saucony –
the Company’s largest brands – are slated for completion in Spring
2025.
“We believe that world-class environments are key to attracting
and retaining talent, unlocking our team’s full potential, and
driving our business forward,” continued Hufnagel. “Spaces that
encourage creativity, collaboration, and innovation are critical as
we continue building a new company for the future.”
