Pro Feet Acquires Execusox

Pro Feet, Inc., a maker of socks for public safety, military and team sports, has acquired Execusox, a Hickory, N.C.-based company specializing in socks for public safety and postal uniforms. The transaction was completed on Mar. 14, 2014.

The acquisition was prompted by the retirement of Execusox owner Tom Cullop, who founded the company in 1992.

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve the Execusox customers,” said Taylor Wilson, Pro Feet President. “Their services align closely with what we already offer. It’s an almost seamless transition for Execusox customers.”

Wilson believes Execusox customers will appreciate broader product selection, multiple methods for ordering, faster turnaround times and Pro Feet’s strong customer service. Additionally, Pro Feet can provide custom orders as well as small-quantity fulfillment. Execusox customers will benefit from Pro Feet’s national sales team, giving them the opportunity to meet directly with a representative for product demonstrations.

“My wife and I have been talking about retirement for quite some time,” Cullop said. “We have always appreciated how Pro Feet operates, so we decided to approach them about taking over Execusox. We believe they will take good care of the customers we’ve worked with for so many years.”

Pro Feet relocated the acquired assets to Burlington, N.C., and will begin serving customers immediately.

Pro Feet, Inc. is a privately owned company based in Burlington, N.C. Founded under the name Volunteer Hosiery in 1979, Pro Feet serves athletic, public service and military markets. Today, the company remains a supplier of choice to many team dealers, uniform dealers and retailers in the United States, Canada and Europe.
