30/05/2013
The El Salvador-based company received the award from Fruit of the Loom, and said it was for its design team’s innovative elastic and its manufacturing team’s ability to execute the transition from the previous style into the new product without any interruption to delivery.
Its senior vice-president, Andrew Dreher, said: “We are very proud of our workforce in El Salvador. They have consistently maintained high levels of quality and service in an ever-changing manufacturing environment. Because we focus on product development and innovation, our manufacturing group has had to constantly adapt to change and they have done an excellent job responding to that challenge.”
George C Moore recently expanded its manufacturing capabilities to include in-house package dyeing for yarn and elastic, cut and sewn fabricated waistbands, five-colour rotary printing, application of technical performance finishes and silicone applications for elastics.
CEO Dana Barlow added: “We are confident in El Salvador and in the DR-CAFTA [Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement] region, we have definitely perceived a renewed interest in the region on behalf of US and global apparel sourcing executives and we have been constantly receiving them in our manufacturing facilities, exploring and evaluating coming back to the region.”
