I’ve got to hand it to Nokona. When their historic factory burned down in 2006 they didn’t let it slow them down, but picked right back up and have once again established themselves as a quality sporting goods manufacturer. Now in 2009, In such difficult economic times it’s inspiring to hear an American Dream story that continues to not only make it, but hold on the principals it was founded on. Nokona gloves have been made by the Devaney family for more than 30 years. With a recent partnership with GoodGlove USA and utilizing “lean manufacturing” they are strengthening their commitment to making the highest quality gloves the right way 100% in the US. Go Nokona! for combining the great American Pastime and the American Dream in some real and inspiring ways.
