Mitch Cahn, CEO of Unionwear, was recently named a Manufacturing Influencer for 2021 by ROI-NJ Magazine.

Tom Bergeron, CEO of ROI-NJ, had a very specific reason for this year’s list: “When we decided to put together our first-ever ROI Influencers: Manufacturing list, we realized it needed to be more than a listing of companies with big revenues and high employee counts. It needed to be how the sector stepped up during the greatest challenge in many generations.”

Instead of their normal procedure for making decisions on who belongs on the list, they worked with the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program to provide a list of 60-plus companies that were essential to the fight against COVID-19 in ways many don’t know.

Unionwear is proud to have manufactured 1 million washable gowns and face shields in 2020, and we recently secured a subcontract to fill the strategic reserves alongside a large government contractor.

We look forward to continuing our fight against Covid 19, as well as future pandemics while retaining good-paying union jobs right here in Newark, NJ.
