MFG Teams With WRAP at MAGIC
The online sourcing resource MFG.com and the Arlington, Va.–based Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) have joined forces in an alliance aimed at growing the Web-based apparel and textile sourcing sector.
MFG.com connects buyers with apparel, footwear, home furnishings and commercial textile factories via the Internet. WRAP operates the world’s largest social and environmental compliance certification program for the apparel industry.
Both companies will be highlighting their services at the WRAP Pavilion in the Sourcing at MAGIC show Aug. 30–Sept. 2 in Las Vegas.
WRAP certifies factories that are compliant in the areas of workplace regulations, universal workers’ rights, environmental compliance, customs compliance and security.
The partnership will allow MFG.com members to gain WRAP certification, which will be highlighted on the supplier profiles on the MFG.com site.
“This will take the guesswork out of the due diligence process when looking for socially compliant suppliers of textiles and apparel,” said Tony Forcucci, global director of MFG.com.
