MERRILL, Wis., Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Weinbrenner Shoe Company, Inc., the parent company of the iconic Thorogood® brand, proudly reaffirms its longstanding commitment to supporting union labor as it breaks ground on a new state-of-the-art facility in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Consistent with our heritage of producing Union-made in the USA boots for hardworking men and women, the company continues to prioritize partnerships with unionized trade contractors during the construction of this project.
