Freeport, ME (PRWEB) May 26, 2015 -- Eastland Shoe Corp., a Maine-based company producing hand-crafted quality footwear since 1955, announces the promotion of Ross Weber to Executive Vice President.
As Executive Vice President, Ross leads all product-related operations and teams including sourcing, product development, quality assurance, and pricing for Eastland’s various brands and private label projects.
