SEAMS will be highlighting a "Supply Chain USA Showcase" in our Pavilion this year at Texprocess Americas, featuring a curated display of 100% Made in America products.
This year's Pavilion will feature a boutique-style showcase highlighting approximately 20 products which were created collectively by the efforts of 40+ SEAMS members - which demonstrate the power of the U.S. Supply Chain in action. "Our membership is excited to share our industry skills and talent to grow textile and sewn product manufacturing in America," states Britt Moore, President of SEAMS.
This display represents a variety of market categories which highlight fashion apparel, headwear, bags, military and tactical gear, medical products, uniforms, and bedding. Featured items include currently available merchandise, along with a special curation of custom designs for the show.
To select the products for this exciting Made in the USA collaboration, the following criteria were required:
- A minimum of 3 SEAMS member companies contributing to an item
- Each item shall represent the US supply chain in every component or process (Including yarn, thread, labels, fabric, trims, and the full assembly process.)
“Our industry has extensive domestic capabilities across many categories and this Supply Chain USA Showcase proves that we can create, produce, and deliver products right here in America.”, states Will Duncan, Executive Director, SEAMS. Duncan continues, “This is the power of the SEAMS network. We would like to especially thank member and board member Xochil Herrera Scheer, owner of The Chicago Pattern Maker, for her extensive work in pulling this showcase together."
"I'm proud of the way so many members came together to contribute to this project. Together, we are responsible for the creation of so many products, and are eager to spread awareness for our varied capabilities and resources," affirmed Herrera Scheer.
The SEAMS Showcase will be on display throughout the Texprocess Americas event at the SEAMS Pavillion, Tuesday, May 6th through Thursday, May 8th at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA. On Tuesday, May 6th at 12:00pm ET we welcome the press and media to a formal guided media tour of the Supply Chain USA Showcase, with our members on hand to talk about their products.
In addition, we will be hosting a panel, “Made in America - A Conversation across the Domestic Supply Chain,” on Wednesday, May 7th from 8:00am to 9:15am in the symposium hall of the Georgia World Congress Center. The conversation will include SEAMS leadership and members listed below:
