![]() Nike isn’t immune to disruptions in its supply chain. In a statement, Nike said it is confident in its ability to navigate the situation in the near term and expects suppliers to prioritize the health of their employees. But one of the suppliers identified by Reuters as closing its plants, Chang Shin Vietnam, runs the largest factory producing Nike’s footwear in Vietnam, measured by number of workers, according to data in Nike’s manufacturing map. Nike didn’t specify which manufacturers these were or which countries they were in. Last year, four footwear manufacturers accounted for about 61% of the production of its Nike brand footwear, it said. ![]() On the other hand, Nike does depend on some suppliers more than others. To offset any further disruptions, Nike could potentially shift some of its production from closed factories to open ones. This set up gives Nike a diversified supplier base so it isn’t overly dependent on any one vendor, meaning the factories currently shut in Vietnam are a fraction of its footwear manufacturing.
