REI, the national retailer cooperative from US, nominated Vibram again as one of the finalist for their “Vendor partner of the year” award for the outdoorwear.
It’s the second nomination in a row for Vibram, with the 2010 nomination having turned into the overall top award.

REI has 120 stores and 1,300 vendors but only the top 15 vendors are nominated for “partner of the year” award. It’s a great honour for Vibram entering the list once again and it proves its
ability to keep matching REI’s main values for a company to be awarded, such as “financial performance, product innovation, retail support and doing that something extra to build partnership”.

As every year, the winners will be announced at the OR show in January.
