LaCrosse Footwear has acquired the White's Boots Inc., which makes custom boots for logging and other commercial applications. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
"This is a union of two great Pacific Northwest companies," said Craig Cohen, a LaCrosse Footwear vice president, in a news release. "White's tradition in U.S. manufacturing complements the Danner brand. We believe (LaCrosse) can help extend the reach of the White's brand and infuse the necessary resources to grow globally."
Gary March, president of White's, will remain in his job. White's will remain based in Spokane. The deal includes White's Spokane factory and 8,900-square-foot retail store where customers can watch their boots be built by hand.
"We are happy to join the LaCrosse Footwear family," March said.
In 2012, LaCrosse was acquired by ABC-MART Inc. Its brands included LaCrosse Footwear and Danner Boots.
