Hush Puppies
This footwear brand was introduced to the world in 1958. Its parent company is Wolverine World Wide, which markets and licenses the products across 120 countries including the United States. The shoes are made in factories in different parts of the world, however. It had been in hot water during the mid-‘90s until it was rescued by current chairman Geoffrey Bloom. Even though a factory and the HQ are found in Rockford, Michigan, it cuts costs by outsourcing manufacturing abroad. The brand is known for using Scotchgard, which is a leather protector added during the tanning process to make the shoes more durable. The shoes are produced in factories located in Brazil, Vietnam, China, and more.

Gillette
A lot of people immediately think of Gillette when the topic of shaving razors come up. It is true that part of the blade is made in the United States. However, the razors, cartridges, and handles are made in Brazil, China, Mexico, and Poland. There is a factory in Boston, which has been around since the early 20th century. But as you will learn from the website, the demand for these products has gone up, which has called for its expansion. In 1992, Gillette made the attempt to meet the market demands by creating a plant in Shanghai. This has allowed the company the capability to make a billion razors per year.
