Schuylkill County clothing maker keeps fabric-making sustainable, local

Thursday, September 29, 2011

Textile World profiles FesslerUSA, a Coal Region clothing maker dedicated to domestic manufacturing and sustainable business practices.

FesslerUSA's ability to produce its own fabric is one aspect that sets it apart from other apparel manufacturers remaining in the United States. "We made a decision very early on to be different from everyone else by being vertical and having fabric production. That's been key to our success and our ability to get through the economic downturn," said (CEO) Walter Meck.

A custom software program drives the entire manufacturing process. The company does all of its design services, knitting, cutting, sewing, folding, packing and final processing in-house. Dyeing and finishing is done by a local dyer with whom the company has done business for more than 40 years.
