A Look Back at Fall Market Week

The textile industry is thriving and we feel lucky to be part of it. Our CEO, Dr. John McKeon ,and CIO, Dave Morrissey, have just returned from a whirlwind week in New York where they met with Certification Program clients and attended the Trailblazers & Titans event. The industry is an exciting one to be involved in at the moment because, as the health and wellness movement gains momentum, manufacturers are searching for products that will satisfy the savvy consumer.Consumers are desperately seeking brands that will make a meaningful difference and it is clear that manufacturers who are driven by ESG values want to respond. In this ‘age of cynicism’ consumers prefer to buy from companies with a reputation for purpose as well as profit and our Certification Program fulfils this criterion. ASL met with several manufacturers keenly interested in having their products tested and CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly®. More to be revealed at a later date…

“We are pleased to be a part of this amazing event that brings together so many leaders in the home textile industry,” said Dr. John McKeon, ASL CEO. “Events like this allow even more industry leaders to learn about why certified bedding is an important consideration for reducing triggers of asthma and allergy in the home. And it’s not just those affected by allergies that benefit from CERTIFIED asthma and allergy friendly® products. These products promote a healthier indoor environment for everyone in the household.”

 

Pegasus Home Fashions proudly displayed their CERTIFIED products at Fall Market Week and were very well represented by Isabel Rodriguez.  President and CEO Bill Deliberti  and the ASL team took the opportunity to discuss future projects and the expansion of their CERTIFIED collection. Certified products are actively being sourced by major retailers so manufacturers like Pegasus recognise the advantage of our certification. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our long term client Indo Count was also at Fall Market Week and it was great to meet up with Deepak Arora who was at hand to chat about our mutual mission. It’s always a pleasure to do business with those that live by the same philosophy as us, and forward-thinking manufacturers such as Indo Count believe strongly that they can contribute to enabling healthy people to live on a healthy planet.
