Coats, known worldwide for its threads and structural components used in apparel and footwear, has taken a big step forward. The company has signed a deal to acquire OrthoLite Holdings LLC, a global leader in high-quality insoles.

This move is part of Coats’ strategy to become a top player in the footwear materials space.

OrthoLite is not just any insole brand. It’s trusted by major footwear companies around the world. Its focus on comfort, performance and sustainability makes it a perfect match for Coats. By joining forces, the two companies aim to offer even better value to customers.

This acquisition also includes Cirql, a newly launched foam technology by OrthoLite. Cirql focuses on midsoles and is made to be either biodegradable or fully recyclable.

With this deal, Coats hopes to grow stronger in the footwear market. OrthoLite’s solid customer base and eco-conscious approach align well with Coats’ long-term goals.

Together, they can reach more brands, expand their global footprint and offer new innovative materials.
