Graham Street • Shelby, NC NO UPFRONT ATTORNEY NO UPFRONT ATTORNEY FEES FOR FILING CHAPTER 13 FEES FOR FILING CHAPTER 13 Appalachian Gear Com- pany, an outdoor lifestyle company specializing in American-made perfor- mance apparel and gear, is proud to announce its ex- pansion into a new manu- facturing facility in Kings Mountain. The move al- lows the brand to signifi- cantly increase production of its award-winning All- Paca™ products, while cre- ating jobs in the Charlotte metropolitan area. Over the past 30 years, Appalachian Gear Compa- ny's founders watched ap- parel manufacturing leave the United States. Since getting started in Charlotte in 2018, App Gear Co has always manufactured 100% of its fabric in its own facil- ity, with product assembly taking place at various fac- tories across the Southeast- ern U.S. As demand grew for the brand's unique performance Hoodies, Crews, accessories, and gear, it became clear it was time to find a larger space that could accommodate the pace of manufacturing needed to keep up. As a re- sult, App Gear Co's found- ers returned to their roots and relocated to historic Kings Mountain, where they started their first-ever manufacturing operation. By staying in North Caro- lina, App Gear Co is able to have better oversight of the manufacturing pro- cess, ensure the production of higher quality garments and gear, and guaran- tee employees have a safe working environment. "App Gear Co really started growing two years ago as more people began to find out about us, and then COVID struck," says John Gage, co-founder of Appalachian Gear Com- pany. "Ironically, 2020 was the year that our brand's public awareness exploded, and we really struggled to keep up with demand in the face of global supply chain issues that impacted our flow of raw material from Peru. I know to a lot of folks, the decision to find a bigger, better space to grow our business in the midst of all that was unthinkable, but we just see it as staying true to the entrepreneurial spirit that helped us start the brand in the first place." Appalachian Gear Com- pany is an outdoor lifestyle company specializing in performance-based cloth- ing and equipment manu- factured in the United States. We combine de- cades in the textile indus- try with countless miles logged on trails across the country to introduce in- novative and environmen- tally friendly products that provide performance and value. Our All-Paca gar- ments are made from 100% Alpaca fiber and deliver unmatched breathability, comfort, and performance with less impact on the en- vironment than synthetics. We understand the impor- tance of Getting Out and Staying Out, and believe time spent in the outdoors leads to a happier, healthier life. Learn more at appala- chiangearcompany.com.
