DURHAM COUNTY, N.C.

(Research Triangle Park, NC)- Implus Footcare LLC, one of the world's leading companies in below the ankle footwear accessories, is proud to announce its recent relocation to 2001 T.W. Alexander Dr in Durham. The new facility better centralizes distribution of all brands, incorporates efficient warehousing solutions and provides more space for the company's growing staff.

Boasting over 252,000 square feet, the new Implus Footcare location brings virtually all of Implus Footcare's operations under one roof. 70% of the building functions as a warehouse and point of distribution for Implus' eight brand families, while the remaining space is home to the sales, marketing, distribution and c-level executive offices. In keeping with its green corporate culture, the new facility features electric forklifts, 4 electronic & gravity controlled pack lines that work 60% more efficiently than traditional models. The company has partnered with Hewlett Packard, a founding member in the Green Grid Organization for ENERGY STAR® and Climate Saver Computing, to implement more than 90% server power efficiency, and all workstations exclusively use ENERGY STAR® machines. The company currently employs just over 200 people.

"As we continue to grow as a company, we are proud to keep our headquarters in Research Triangle Park," said Todd Vore, President of Implus Footcare. "Our new building allows our teams at every level to come together and work side-by-side, creating better efficiency and improved products."

In just the last two years, Implus Footcare has grown to include a wide variety of popular below-the-ankle footwear for both men and women. These brands include Yaktrax, a unique line of winter traction footwear, Sneaker Balls, a line of sports air fresheners, Grangers, a leading company specializing in performance aftercare treatments for fabrics and outerwear, and Little Hotties, a leading provider of hand, body, and toe warmer products.
