FROM FACEBOOK__From Wilson Sporting Goods: A major milestone in Ada, Ohio.
Since opening our new Wilson Football Factory in May 2024, we’ve officially produced 1,000,000 footballs—almost two years to the day since the first ball came off the line.
While Wilson has been handcrafting millions of footballs in Ada for generations, this moment marks a new chapter—combining our rich heritage with a modern facility built for the future of the game.
It’s a testament to the same craftsmanship, pride, and dedication that has defined our team for decades—just in a brand-new home.
