Bespoke Manufacturing Company (BMC) has plans to open an apparel factory in Phoenix.
According to a press release by the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, the 50,000-square-foot facility will manufacture one-off garments on demand and other home fashion products as well. The facility is predicted to create more than 250 jobs and boost the local economy.
“We chose to build our first plant in the heart of Phoenix because of the talented sewers the city has to offer,” Kirby Best, founder of BMC, said, according to the press release. “Quality is of the utmost importance. We have hired first-rate tailors and sewers from around the world who are eager to show that the United States is a competitive force in apparel manufacturing.”
Sandra Watson, president and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority, said Arizona is becoming a fashion innovation hotbed.
“BMC’s state-of-the-art facility brings another high-tech innovator to our state, and we are proud to welcome their expansion,” Watson said.
Chris Camacho, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, said Greater Phoenix attracts technology-focused companies.
“We’re excited to welcome BMC as the latest high-tech manufacturer choosing to expand in the region and look forward to being a partner in their continued growth and success,” Camacho said.
The facility is scheduled to be up and operational by June 1.
