Whether It's High Fashion or Military Uniforms, Ferrara Manufacturing Makes It in the USA

When husband and wife Carolyn and Joseph Ferrara launched Ferrara
Manufacturing in 1987, they set out to make the best womenswear in
the business, all from their New York City's Garment District
factory. They had no idea that NAFTA was about to rock the U.S.
garment industry to its core, but they fought through the tumult
and found success in working with brands like Ralph Lauren. Their
daughter, Gabrielle Ferrara, Ferrara Manufacturing's chief
operating officer, shares how the family-owned, women-owned,
union-represented company's knack for innovation has helped it
navigate the headwinds of offshoring and find new opportunities
through the latest manufacturing technology.  Photo courtesy
