Mainetti Joins the AAFA

The American Apparel & Footwear Association

Mainetti USA is now an official member of the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) – a leading national trade group representing over 1,000 of the world’s top apparel, footwear, and sewn goods companies. Membership strengthens our presence in the global apparel space and aligns us with industry leaders tackling today’s most critical challenges—from sustainability and traceability to trade regulations and brand protection.

As members, we now have direct access to the association’s wealth of tools and research, including exclusive data, benchmarking surveys, regulatory trackers, and policy updates. We also have a seat at the table through active participation in multiple AAFA committees focused on areas such as product safety, environmental impact, social responsibility, and logistics. Mainetti USA is engaged and represents us in these spaces.

Joining AAFA is not just about staying informed, it’s about leading from the front. It reinforces our commitment to sustainable innovation, ethical sourcing, and compliance excellence. As the apparel industry evolves, this affiliation will help us stay agile, informed, and connected.

Mainetti USA looks forward to sharing more about how this membership will support your work in continued selling across all retail solutions and the broader mission of Mainetti. Stay tuned for internal updates on committee insights, upcoming webinars, and ways you can engage in the coming months.

Mainetti will be officially announced as a member of AAFA on July 8, 2025.
