Mount Airy, N.C.-based Nester Hosiery has been awarded three-year contracts for the U.S. Army Cold Weather Sock Program and U.S. Marine Corps Intense Cold Weather Sock Program, following novation from Fox River.
Nester will serve as provider of record for the Army program and supply the Marine Corps program. The company manufactures high-performance Merino wool socks designed, engineered and produced in the United States.
The awards reinforce Nester’s position as a provider of Berry Amendment- compliant cold-weather and performance sock systems for the U.S. military.
“These two major awards reflect the trust placed in our team, our domestic manufacturing capabilities, and our long-standing commitment to delivering premium performance products to the warfighter,” said Kelly Nester, CEO.
The company’s military programs are supported by North Carolina manufacturing, advanced knitting technology and technical product-development expertise.
