Project Description

Established over 100 years ago, Quoddy is a high-end, hand-sewn shoe manufacturer. One of Maine’s last small businesses in a once-thriving industry, Quoddy needed new capital to develop its brand recognition and improve its craftsmanship, opening doors in the wholesale channel. Advantage Capital’s investment allowed Quoddy to develop its sales function and brand awareness.
