Sewn Products National Reshoring Award
The Reshoring Initiative, in conjunction with SEAMS, is looking to recognize companies for successful reshoring projects.
Reshoring Award
SEAMS and The Reshoring Initiative launched the first ever Sewn Products National Reshoring Award in 2018 recognizing leaders in 2019 at the SEAMS Spring Conference. We are excited to announce that due to overwhelming success, this is now an Annual initiative, which is open to all companies that have successfully reshored the sewing of any product to the U.S., accelerating the Made in America movement.
Eligibility for this award must include production reshoring from offshore back to the U.S. or represent new production that has taken market share from imports between January 1, 2014 and June 30, 2020. There will be awards for three industry categories: cut and sew manufacturers; brands/OEMS/vertical retailers; textile providers. Relevant companies for any sewn products are encouraged to enter.
Request for applications must be received by June 19, 2020. Final applications must be submitted by July 17, 2020.
Thank you for your interest.
