Darn It! Marks 30 Amazing Years of Quality Solutions in Apparel

Darn It! Celebrates 30 Years of Quality Solutions

Darn It!, the innovative apparel refurbishment and rework company, proudly commemorates its 30th year of turning quality problems into successful solutions. Founded in 1996 by Jeff Glassman, the company has transformed from a modest venture to a robust operation spanning 300,000 square feet in New Bedford, Massachusetts. With over 60 dedicated employees, Darn It! has catered to more than 1,000 clients and has meticulously inspected millions of apparel items, shoes, and accessories.

The origin of Darn It! can be traced back to a unique moment in the mid-1990s when the American apparel industry encountered significant challenges due to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). As domestic factories closed and production shifted overseas, quality issues became rampant. Recognizing this gap, Jeff Glassman saw a burgeoning need for a solution that would support manufacturers, retailers, and importers who found themselves grappling with unsatisfactory products.

"Thirty years ago, I chuckled at a customer's quality problem and accidentally started a company. That customer showed up with 40,000 pairs of defective pants on a truck, and I realized there was an entire industry that needed exactly what we could do. Three decades later I am more proud of this team and what we've built together than I could ever have imagined," shared Glassman.

Darn It! quickly established itself as a trusted partner for businesses needing prompt and efficient resolutions for defective products. The company’s reputation grew due to its reliability and speed in rectifying quality issues, which became crucial in a rapidly changing market landscape.

Today, Darn It! operates two integral businesses under one roof, offering a comprehensive suite of services. Their refurbishment and rework division takes charge of everything from inspecting and repairing garments to re-ticketing, steaming, pressing, cleaning, and mold remediation. Additionally, their fulfillment center provides brands with inventory storage and order processing, ensuring that quality control is maintained at every stage.

Glassman attributes the success and longevity of Darn It! primarily to the exceptional team behind the scenes. Many employees have remained with the company since its inception, some having roots in Ronnie Manufacturing, the clothing factory that set the foundation for Darn It!"s establishment.

As Darn It! celebrates its 30-year milestone, the company's commitment to serving manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, and importers remains steadfast. They continue to uphold the promise made upon their founding: when quality goes wrong, they make it right.
