Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
Next Level Apparel has announced a strategic partnership with GK Global (GK) to provide nearshore fabric, with the goal of reaching 100% US grown cotton for NLA’s entire clothing line.
NLA CEO, Randy Hales, said: “There are many benefits of this partnership with GK, including shorter lead times and reduced exposure to geopolitical risks.
“Bringing our fabric production closer to home allows us to have complete supply chain transparency, including upstream traceability to the cotton.”
GK chairman, Yusuf Amdani, added: “In 2022 GK invested more than $236 million (USD) aimed at expanding our world-class operations and allowing us to bring the full strength of our global supply chain to our relationship with NLA.
“We are proud to partner with the leading printwear brand and to grow together by delivering the highest quality and responsibly sourced products available in the market today.”
GK’s textile operations were established in Central America and Mexico more than three decades ago. At that time the company was one of the first foreign textile investors in Honduras, and since then has established vertically integrated production covering all facets of the textile supply chain to include innovative and sustainable fibres, yarns, fabrics, and garment manufacturing.
Next Level Apparel is a design innovator, industry leader and top supplier of premium blank apparel. NLA put its stamp on the map as a blank apparel pioneer in the printwear industry by answering the call to its customers’ need for a sublimation T shirt. The company’s passion for exceptional craftsmanship catalysed the development of more styles and ultimately formed the Next Level Apparel brand.
