Factory

The Factory in Perth, ON, originally served as a shoe manufacturing plant for the Brown Shoe Company Canada, opening its doors in November 1960 as one of the most modern facilities of its kind. For over forty years, it was a significant employer in the community, producing well-known Buster Brown children's shoes and fostering strong ties through corporate and social responsibility.

After its closure in 2003, efforts to revive shoe manufacturing at the site were unsuccessful, leading to its transformation into a business park that now accommodates a variety of professional, commercial, and government-funded organizations. The legacy of the Brown Shoe Company continues to resonate in the community, reflecting its historical significance in the region.
