We’re thrilled to share NBC News' coverage of Ferrara Manufacturing’s efforts during the pandemic and the broader implications of President Biden’s "Buy American" order for domestic manufacturing.
The article highlights how small businesses like ours pivoted to produce essential PPE, such as masks and isolation gowns, amidst global supply chain disruptions. At Ferrara Manufacturing, we transitioned from creating tailored garments for designers like Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein to partnering with American suppliers like DuPont and Parkdale Mills to build a fully domestic production pipeline.
As Gabrielle Ferrara, COO of Ferrara Manufacturing, shared, “There’s a real sense of community and excitement around Made in USA products.”
The pandemic underscored the value of resilient domestic supply chains and showcased the potential for manufacturing in the U.S. to not only meet critical needs but also to create a sense of pride and opportunity in our industry.
