What does it take to build a thriving, forward-thinking manufacturing business in America today? In this episode of Journeys to the Summit, host Ilya Zlotnik sits down with Alex Khakham, co-owner of Gil Sewing and High Performance Uniforms, to explore his family’s inspiring immigrant story, their start with six sewing machines, and how they’ve grown into a powerhouse serving retail brands, Fortune 500s, and the U.S. military.
Learn how Alex navigates global supply chains, evolving labor markets, and rising tariffs – all while remaining agile and values driven.
