In 2017, 99Degrees partnered with RSI, a world-class activewear apparel manufacturing and company, in order to bring the perspective of a global service model to our US manufacturing model.

 

RSI has built a reputation for delivering innovation, reliability, and accountability to its clients and partners, and is a recognized leader in corporate social responsibility in the countries where it operates. It produces over 65 million units a year and employs over 12,000 associates worldwide.

​

“Brenna’s vision aligns closely to RSI’s strategic direction and we share her values, including social responsibilities to the local community. Her passion, entrepreneurship, and leadership are the key ingredients for a successful company, and together we believe we can offer the industry a new service model, one predicated on speed, innovation, and quality to better service the activewear apparel industry. Furthermore, we are proud to invest in a woman-owned, woman-led business that will have an important impact on skilled job creation in Lawrence and nearby communities.”

“I can’t imagine a better partner to help us scale, create meaningful jobs in the Merrimack Valley and make Lawrence Massachusetts a key epicenter of forward-thinking US apparel manufacturing. From the moment I met the RSI team, it was clear that we share the same vision for the industry’s future. We are thrilled to draw on RSI’s unparalleled manufacturing expertise and technical know-how while building a model designed for US manufacturing – one based on speed, innovation, and advanced technologies. RSI is a global company recognized for technical expertise, premium quality and deep commitments to its customers, employees, and communities where it operates.”
