Neely Manufacturing Ramps Up Domestic Capabilities
While Neely has never had any problems with their carefully selected, long-standing overseas partners, the company is in a much better position to have control over their “green” offerings by purchasing American-produced fabric and sewing these products in their domestic factories.
One of the issues that suppliers have with products they are importing which are stated to be organically grown is that there is no system in place to certify that goods coming from other countries are indeed organic as they claim to be. Neely is working with their Indian manufacturing partner for an organic-certification process, in conjunction with an independent quality-assurance agent, that would allow for an organic guarantee. However, presently, the only way to really guarantee an item is organic in all stages of production is to be an American manufacturer buying American-grown and converted fabrics which can be certified in the United States.
