Ferrara Manufacturing, a family-owned apparel manufacturer that has partnered with Ralph Lauren to create the U.S. Olympic and Paralympics uniforms from 2014 – 2022, announced today the launch of Ferrara Uniform. Ferrara Manufacturing produces garments worn on the runways of New York and Paris – as well as by American Olympians and the U.S. military. Located in Manhattan's Garment District, Ferrara Uniform is a new division of the company focusing specifically on uniforms made in the USA.
The members of Team USA competing at the Winter Games will wear jackets and bottoms in the Closing Ceremony manufactured in New York by Ferrara Uniform. The creation of Ferrara Uniform highlights the 35-year-old company's commitment to expanding its uniform tailoring and manufacturing services. In its state-of-the-art facility in New York City, Ferrara also produces for the Ralph Lauren Purple Label, The Durst Organization, United States Airforce, United States Navy, and United States Coast Guard.
Founded in 1987, Ferrara Manufacturing is a union, family owned and operated business with a highly skilled workforce that produces everything domestically. With the addition of Ferrara Uniform, the company is now made up of three specialized divisions serving diverse markets – tailoring, uniforms, and protective garments. Ferrara Supply Company was one of the first federal partners to provide domestically made Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as part of the 2021 American Rescue Plan, and has made millions of gowns and masks in the U.S. during the pandemic for the U.S. government. The company spent months exploring product development for masks and eventually created a high filtration product that President Biden wore during the 2021 inauguration.
Ferrara Uniform vedie Gabrielle Ferrara, prevádzková riaditeľka spoločnosti Ferrara Manufacturing a dcéra zakladateľov Carolyn a Josepha Ferrara. Tím matky-dcér Gabrielle a Carolyn sú inovatívnou silou v tomto odvetví, vrátane vývoja vlastnej technológie prispôsobenia prispôsobenej na obliekanie žien všetkých tvarov a veľkostí. Spoločnosť pokračuje v raste a nedávnym rozšírením do závodu v Long Island City plánuje Ferrara Manufacturing pokračovať v zvyšovaní kapacity a najímaní ďalších zamestnancov.
V roku 2019 viedla Gabrielle spustenie Ferrara Supply, špeciálnej obchodnej jednotky vytvorenej na výrobu domácich OOP. V roku 2021 Manufacturing Institute ocenil Gabrielle vo Washingtone, DC za výnimočnosť vedenia v americkej výrobe. Je členkou predstavenstva NYC Manufacturing and Industrial Innovation Council (MAIIC) a Athena Center na Barnard College, kde navštevovala.
