GMPC’s recently hired VP of Supply Chain, Joshua Cherin, will be on a panel addressing the topic of, “2020: Future Supply Chain,” at the Sourcing Summit at MAGIC in Las Vegas, Nevada on Monday from 3:30pm – 5:00pm in the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall, Level 2, Room N251.
Mr. Cherin will discuss market conditions that are forcing changes in the men’s and women’s accessories supply chain strategy, including retail bankruptcies, regulatory changes in China, and overall brand attitude towards the accessories category.
“Accessories embody a category with rapidly changing trends and huge growth opportunity. Given a rapidly changing regulatory and economic environment in China, and explosive trends in products such as socks and backpacks, which had historically been brand-dominated staples, I believe now more than ever companies can use supply chain partners for the accessories category.
“GMPC is the best in the business at accessories supply chain management, and we’re seeing many really exciting opportunities because of it,” said Mr. Cherin.
“We are very excited to add Josh Cherin to the GMPC team,” says Steve Wegner, principal with GMPC.
“With his 20 years of experience in manufacturing and merchandising fashion accessories, he is a great asset to GMPC.“
