CONCORD, Mass.—After decades of working together, outsole and shoe company Vibram USA and its manufacturing and distribution channel Quabaug Corp. are now a single entity. For more than 50 years, Quabaug had served as the manufacturer and distributor of Vibram's rubber soling products. Vibram acquired Quabaug's soling assets on June 1 in an effort to focus the combined company on product develop-ment and on the research and development of innovative new products, said Vibram CEO Mike Gionfriddo. The newly formed company will be referred to as Quabaug Vibram Innovation, although the Vibram brand will continue to be marketed to customers.
