Through its combined global network, A&E products are manufactured in 27 facilities around the world and sold in more than 100 countries, allowing brands to quickly source high quality, color specific materials wherever their production facilities are located. 

 

"We are excited to offer A&E's thread and color libraries in YuniquePLM,” said Clayton Parker, director of PLM product management at Gerber. “By simply using drag-and-drop to add colors and threads simultaneously to multiple styles from these data libraries, this robust integration simplifies the jobs of designers and product developers. A&E's investment in the stewardship of future generations through Eco-Driven® solutions is unparalleled. Customers will be able to enhance their own CSR efforts by partnering with a trusted, transparent company for their material needs." 

 

"We are excited to integrate A&E's thread and color information into Gerber's YuniquePLM system," said Chris Alt, A&E senior vice president of Sales. "This collaboration benefits our mutual customers by making A&E threads and colors readily available during design and development." 

 

Commitment to safety and sustainability are important and ongoing goals of A&E, the company said. A&E's "10 Threads of Sustainability" platform balances social responsibility and environmental impact with business growth objectives. This initiative complements Gerber Technology's goal to empower brands in fulfillment of their own CSR programs.

 

As brands and retailers specify components of their end product from supply chain partners such as A&E, which has dedicated itself to reducing its environmental impact, brands demonstrate that their choices matter.
