Saitex – the world’s first-and-only denim factory that is bluesign-approved and Fair Trade and LEED-certified – has announced the opening of Saitex USA which is the first facility of the company outside Vietnam.
Located in Los Angeles which has long been the denim hub of the US, the new facility Saitex USA is a result of heavy investment and is a home of the latest innovative laser cutting, semi-automated sewing, robotic spraying, 3D laser detailing and futuristic one-step washing machines that are connected to a state-of-the-art water recycling system.
Termed as the ‘Factory of the Future’, the facility is an ever-evolving example of the manufacturer’s forward-thinking, meeting decades of denim-making expertise supported by the most dynamic approach to environmentally responsible apparel production – according to Saitex.
The technology in the factory allows for an automated supply chain ecosystem at speed using interconnected ordering and costing with shorter lead times, giving the factory a competitive advantage.
Through the use of its Cloud-based digital Platform as a Service (PaaS), Saitex’s Speed to Market™ system provides a conscious approach to inventory management and a trajectory towards ‘made to order’ capabilities.
“Saitex USA is another step in our journey, providing an opportunity to bring sustainable manufacturing and jobs to the United States, a first step in reevaluating and reinventing global supply chains,” said Sanjeev Bahl, CEO, and Founder of Saitex.
The company further states that the challenges of the pandemic did not stop Saitex from completing not only the LA factory, but also continuing work on its state-of-the-art fabric mill in Vietnam enabling Saitex to create a unique, fully sustainable, vertical manufacturing system.
With a team led by industry veteran Kathy Kweon, as USA President, the LA factory has recruited the best of the industry to work at Saitex in Los Angeles.
