New OrthoLite factory in Vietnam

The world leader in open-cell foam insole technology, part of the Coats Group since October 2025, has announced the opening of a new factory in the province of Ninh Binh, in northern Vietnam. This key milestone marks a significant step forward in OrthoLite’s strategy to localize the entire product creation process from end to end while strengthening the company’s production capabilities to better support regional and global brand partners.

OrthoLite North Vietnam (ONV) is a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that catalyzes local-for-local production and service. OrthoLite’s commitment to the northern Vietnam region furthers its unique global vertical integration strategy and investment in its owned and operated facilities. 

Led by Country Manager Michael Hsu, the new ONV facility offers local production which reduces lead times and enhances supply chain resilience. OrthoLite’s global quality standards ensure consistency and excellence across all foam formulations, assuring the highest standards while qualifying new programs, reducing waste, and launching advanced digital monitoring tools for transparency and reliability. 

“The northern Vietnam region represents part of OrthoLite’s global production strategy to align our factories and provide efficient and exemplary service directly to our local partners and Tier 1 factories,” said Michael Hsu, country manager for OrthoLite North Vietnam. “With this strategic expansion, OrthoLite is well positioned to deliver high-performance comfort solutions locally for global brands.”
