Our History

The Early Years

Foundation Wellness has a rich history in orthopedic design and manufacturing. Originally founded in 1934 as Remington Products, the once family-owned business specialized in manufacturing insoles, footwear, and foot care products. The business flourished alongside developments in the Akron, Ohio area, a city that is renowned for its polymer technology.

Global Reach

In 2007, Remington expanded their reach with the Remington International Company LTD, a wholly owned American company located in a modern industrial park in Southeast Asia. Remington International’s manufacturing practices are based on US standards surrounding quality control, employment practices, and safety.

Taking Steps to Grow

In 2010, Remington acquired the Cincinnati based brand Stable Step, its largest customer and the supplier of PowerStep, a leading brand of prefabricated orthotics. This led to the development of several groundbreaking new products in the insole and orthotic footwear industry. With the goal of advancing growth and preserving proud employee culture, the investment firm Gridiron Capital LLC partnered with Remington Products in April 2019. Shortly after, Remington acquired Foot Petals, a leading designer brand of foot cushions and inserts for women’s shoes, and FLAT SOCKS, an innovative no-sock solution. In the fall of 2020, Remington Company rebranded itself as Foundation Wellness. Early in 2022, the company acquired Doctor Hoy’s, a natural pain relief topical and the fourth brand to join the team in empowering consumers to lead active and pain free lives. In the spring of 2023, Foundation Wellness also acquired CURREX, a leading brand of dynamic insoles designed to improve performance in athletes and support active individuals.

Foundation Wellness Does It All

Today, Foundation Wellness components are used in a number of products and markets. Our portfolio includes orthotics supplied and recommended by podiatrists, retail-ready insoles and cushions, footbeds in US made shoes and military boots, as well as helmet and glove padding.
