Reinforcing its domestic manufacturing, Ibex Outdoor Clothing has opened a West Coast office in Emeryville, California. The 2,500 square-foot office space will manage the company’s raw materials flowing in and out of each Northern California factory. Ibex currently works with factories located in Emeryville, Oakland, and San Leandro in northern California as well as one factory in Los Angeles.
“We felt it necessary to open an office on the West Coast to support our U.S. production, which is approximately 75-percent of our garment supply,” said John Fernsell, founder and CEO of Ibex. “We have grown to the point where it became essential to have a West Coast operation. It also enables us to be a better partner with our cut and sew facilities.”
Ibex West has two full-time employees Whitney Zinni (Technical Product Manager) and Jay Mack (Production Manager), both of whom are responsible for managing the multiple facets of the day-to-day production in Ibex’s Bay Area factories. Zinni and Mack report to Chris Leyes, global production manager.
