VISION

A VISION FOR DOMESTIC MANUFACTURING

As Emmelle Manufacturing has become established, we have stayed true to our mission of revitalizing New York City’s garment district by developing a culture of cooperation and collaboration and by focusing on the creation of long-term and stable partnerships and employment opportunities.

RESOLVING FRAGMENTATION

LAYING THE FOUNDATION

We are focused on four key areas in order to reverse the decades of fragmentation that the US apparel industry has suffered.

  • Automated & semi-automated machinery
  • Domestic supply chain
  • NYC’s skilled workforce
  • Consumer data-based production
CAPABILITIES

THE DOMESTIC ADVANTAGE

The global manufacturing environment is ever-shanging and domestic manufacturing has many unique advantages.

  • Agility - Faster turnaround enables a rapid response to consumer demands and business needs.
  • Versatility - Smaller minimum order quantities (MOQs) allow for market testing and restocking of key products and styles to minimize inventory risk and maximize sales.
  • Cost savings - Higher domestic labor costs are offset by lower costs for shipping, logistics, and customs or tariffs.
  • Strategic planning - Lower MOQs and faster turnarounds allow for more strategic inventory planning and reduce the need for markdowns.
