Unionwear president Mitch Cahn was recently recognized in the NJ Biz New Jersey Power 100.

Mitch joins other New Jersey awardees, including Governor Phil Murphy, Sen. Cory Booker, the CEOs of Campbell Foods and NJ Transit, just to name a few.

Here’s a quote from the article:

“If it’s got to be Made in America, there’s a good chance it was made in Newark. That’s where Cahn‘s company Unionwear is based. The manufacturer makes uniforms, hats and other promotional clothing, serving as the go-to source for political candidates who cannot be caught wearing or hawking anything marked Made in Some Other Country. Like many, Unionwear saw higher-than-average turnover during the past year, dropping its employee count down to 155. But, Cahn said the company is aiming to get to 180 employees by May. While local partners work to build manufacturing capacity here in New Jersey, a measure making its way through Congress could lend support to the industry at large. Following the breakdown of supply chains over the past year, Cahn – who also serves on the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program’s board of directors – explained the proposal could help to move certain manufacturers out of the shadows. “It is easy to find products,” he told NJBIZ this month. “It is next to impossible to find capabilities. When there is a national emergency and the federal government needs supplies immediately, there is currently no way to locate who has the capability and capacity to fill gaps in critical infrastructure.”

Congratulations again to Mitch and all the awardees!
