OrthoLite Named One of Best Employers in Asia

AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS (August 27, 2025) – OrthoLite Vietnam (OVN) has been awarded “Best Companies to Work for in Asia” by HR Asia for the second consecutive year, according to an announcement from OrthoLite. The award was presented during a ceremony in Ho Chi Minh City on August 14, 2025.

Organized and presented by HR Asia, the Best Companies to Work for in Asia Awards evaluates and honors organizations with best practices in human resources, high levels of employee engagement and excellent workplace cultures.

OrthoLite Vietnam (OVN) successfully completed multiple rigorous assessments conducted across all levels of company leadership, exceeding the comprehensive criteria required to achieve the highest distinction — first place. HR Asia’s evaluation further highlighted OrthoLite Vietnam’s outstanding performance, with scores significantly surpassing the market average.

“We couldn’t be prouder of our exceptional team and leadership in Vietnam,” said Glenn Barrett, founder and CEO of OrthoLite. “Their unwavering dedication, proactive mindset, and strong spirit of collaboration are a direct reflection of the unique culture we’ve built — one that is integral to our success. It’s this culture that empowers our teams to consistently deliver the highest quality insole solutions to our global brand partners every day.”

The OVN team comprises over 1,000 employees who work in OrthoLite’s state-of-the-art facility in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. OVN’s automation, growing lean lines and attention to the company’s best manufacturing for less-impactful manufacturing, combine to make it a leading manufacturing facility for OrthoLite.

“We are truly honored to receive this award for the second year in a row and to be recognized for the strength of our incredible team and company culture,” said Mark Coffield, Country Manager for OrthoLite Vietnam. “Our exceptional team has a collaborative spirit and dedication that are unmatched and are at the heart of every partnership we build with OrthoLite brand partners.”

OVN is one of six vertically-integrated global manufacturing facilities owned by OrthoLite, all of which work together to bring an unmatched level of consistency, transparency and best practices to the brand’s 550-plus global brand partners.

Recently OVN’s Higg Index score was released, which showed the facility and team achieved an overall verified score of 90-percent.

“This is all due to the exceptional leadership and dedication of Jenny Le, Human Resource Director at OVN, who has led our HR program for over six years,” Coffield noted. “It’s also due to our dedicated OVN team, who work daily toward our goal of achieving sustainability through environmental management, energy, water use, wastewater management, waste management, air quality and chemical management.”
