I was lucky to get a second tour of the new Spreadshirt production facility here in Greensburg, this time for the offical "Grand Opening." It was neat to be included in the list of invitees which included a very giddy Congressman Tim Murphy who confided that he used to play in a rock band that was a little folksy, a little bluegrassy, and definitely influenced by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young when asked if he was "a t-shirt guy." My first visit was, I believe, literally the first week they had moved to this location, so things were a little threadbare (no pun intended!) so it was great seeing the place alive today and full of fantastic tshirts. I hadn't really thought about it in this way before, but it was brought up that the internet has actually revolutionized manufacturing, and innovative companies like Spreadshirt are bringing jobs back to traditional manufacturing areas like Pittsburgh. Considering Pittsburgh is also a great mecca for tech and art, this is such a match made in heaven. Given the kind of operation Spreadshirt is, they could have literally been located anywhere globally (and I do believe they also have production facilities in both Germany & Poland) so we are definitely lucky to have them here.
(Can you find me in this picture? I'm standing between Spreadshirt Global CEO Janna Eggers and US Congressman Tim Murphy with the blue cardigan hoodie and the disproportionally large bag that I will never admit is actually a diaper bag. Nope.)
