The American Apparel Producers Network (AAPN) stands as a testament to the collective strength and innovation of the apparel industry. With over 600 individuals, including owners, CEOs, senior executives, and influential figures, AAPN has become the industry's go-to source for valuable insights and updates. Through daily email alerts and broadcasts, AAPN members gain access to vital information that their competitors receive but are often too preoccupied to scour for on a daily basis. This member benefit alone has solidified AAPN's position as a pivotal resource in the industry.
Since its establishment in 1981, AAPN has witnessed tremendous growth, with nearly 1,700 companies joining its ranks. The AAPN archives boast an impressive collection of thousands of case studies, articles, papers, and other valuable resources. To ensure comprehensive coverage, daily broadcasts draw from reputable sources such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, just-style.com, Fortune, TextileWorld, FastCompany, and many more. AAPN and its members have evolved together, adapting to the ever-changing landscape of the industry, and will continue to do so.
What sets AAPN apart is its representation of over two dozen industries in the supply chain, including fiber, yarn, fabric, apparel, logistics, retail, markets, countries, regions, and causes. While these industries typically have their own lobbies, associations, councils, and boards, AAPN stands as the industry's only organization of organizations. This unique structure allows AAPN to mimic the industrial and vertical organization of China, fostering seamless collaboration and understanding across the entire supply chain. It is no wonder that brands and retailers are eagerly joining the AAPN, as it serves as a platform where the language of sourcing is spoken fluently. The AAPN's extensive network can be activated within minutes, 24/7, connecting producers directly without any intermediaries.
Moreover, the AAPN stands as the most well-connected industry organization for business in the Americas. Notable industry leaders from the top 12 apparel and textile-producing countries in the Western Hemisphere actively participate in AAPN's initiatives. Beyond their contributions to the industry, AAPN member companies are at the forefront of sustainability and social responsibility efforts. A remarkable example of collaboration and innovation within AAPN is the establishment of "Environmental Valley" in El Salvador. In this ambitious project, eight AAPN member companies came together to create an activewear supply chain city capable of achieving three-week cycle times. This groundbreaking achievement showcases the power of AAPN's collaborative network, where not only were 180 world-class suppliers present at the AAPN 2013 meeting, but dozens of interconnected supply chains were also represented, weaving a complex tapestry that spans the Americas.
