Fox River Mills
Fox River Mills, Inc. was founded in Appleton, Wisconsin in 1900 and got its name from its location in the Fox River Valley. During its first 60 years, Fox River manufactured socks, mittens and gloves primarily for hunters, fishermen and lumberjacks. In the early 1960s, Fox River extended its product line to include new and innovative styles and colors to keep pace with the expanding active sports market. In 1985, Fox River began manufacturing hosiery under the Wick Dry® brand name. The patented Wick Dry® Health System™ reinforced Fox River’s commitment to meet and exceed consumers’ expectations. Today, that commitment continues with innovations like our award-winning high-performance socks-Wick Dry®, anatomical styles, and the naturally antimicrobial X-STATIC® (X-Static)—The Silver Fiber® socks. NASA has even certified four of their styles for use in the space program.
