Trending - AWC Smale-Scale Manufacturing
AWC has expanded its sewing program to include small-scale manufacturing. This initiative aims to provide economic opportunities within the community - (City of Clarkston, Dekalb County and Metro Atlanta). By leveraging our skilled workforce, ethical production methods, and sustainable materials, we will serve local businesses, nonprofits, and direct consumers.
• We are looking forward to developing partnerships with local businesses and organizations for bulk orders.
• Wholesale and contract sewing for businesses and organizations.
• Ethical fashion brands seeking small-scale production.
• Community members looking to make custom or sustainable products.
• Small-scale manufacturing for micro-enterprise entities that want to scale and sell online through their website, Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram or other e-commerce platforms.
This initiative aligns with our mission to provide sustainable livelihoods while delivering high-quality products. With the right support and resources, we will create lasting economic and social impact.
