16/04/2001

The US footwear manufacturer, Footwear Specialties International (FSI), has appointed Lee Lemon as Executive Vice President – Sales, for its Nautilus and Skidbuster industrial footwear divisions.

Lemon’s appointment follows on from FSI’s recent acquisition of the Third Watch and Skidbuster brands from another US footwear manufacturer, Mason Shoe. "These acquisitions have added incremental revenue to FSI and have solidified our presence in the public safety and slip resistant markets. Lee will head up sales of the FSI Industrial Division which includes the brands of Nautilus and SkidBuster," commented Wayne Elsey, Chief Executive Officer.

Lemon joins FSI from the Carolina Shoe Company, where he served as head of the company for over 6 years. He has also held senior positions at Kenneth Cole and Reebok.
