Happy Halloween from everyone at FIT. We had treats, a Halloween costume contest (congrats to Martha Skeen or should I say "Donna Jo" for winning $100 and everyone that dressed up got a scratch off lottery ticket) and everyone was in the Halloween spirit.

Have a safe and fun Halloween everyone! πŸŽƒ

On Thursday-Friday last week we had visitors. You probably noticed them.
Brian and Verun are from L&L Products https://www.llproducts.com. They are using recycled materials to make a range cushioning materials. They came to us to find out if their products are suitable for use in footwear.
They want to thank our production team for their support last week. They apologize for interrupting our normal work, but they were impressed by how helpful everyone was, as well as how enthusiastic. They said they had not realized how much skill it takes to make a pair of work boots. Special thanks to Mayo, Igxia and Sissy, as well as the lasting and Desma teams.
We are making 6 pairs of boots for their project. In August these will be shown at the Materials Shows in Portland OR and Boston, MA. These are the most important shows for the US footwear, apparel and sporting goods industries and are attended by all the major brands.
FIT boots will be on display at the L&L Products stand and everyone will know they are proudly made in Tennessee!

Hello everyone! My name is Helen Zhu. I am originally from Shanghai, China. I am a recent graduate of the George Washington University in Washington D.C this year, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in Marketing Strategies & Analytics.

Throughout the one-month time interning at FIT, I am very grateful to everyone here for their enthusiasm, kindness, as well as great inclusiveness and tolerance of my lack of professionalism and workplace experience as a newcomer to manufacturing factory operations. And I still remember the Friday before Independence Day when our dedicated HR staff Kristin took her extra time to prepare a delicious BBQ lunch for all 80 people in the factory. It was the first time I had eaten so close to the production line, and when the supervisor of our finishing & packing department Susan filled my burger with full BBQ meat and handed it to me, I felt an unprecedented sense of caring and belonging to the FIT family!

I have learned the importance of comprehensive communication between workers and supervisors in different production steps, as well as ensuring the accuracy and error-free of each component of our footwear final products in order to improve overall production efficiency. I am super impressed by the great dedication and conscientiousness of every member of FIT to their work. And I am proud of FIT’s strong competitive edge in the market and its frequent receiving of trust-based orders from more customers. I sincerely wish FIT to continue to grow and prosper in the future. I am growing with FIT!
