Ep. 64: Evolution St Louis
This week’s guest on The WTiN Podcast is John Elmuccio, COO and co-founder of Evolution St Louis.
Founded in February 2020 by Elmuccio and his business partner Jon Lewis, Evolution St Louis is a high-tech knitting 32,000 sqft facility that uses 3D and complete garment seamless technology to create the manufacturing facility and supply chain of the future.
In this episode, Elmuccio talks about several topics from the company’s vision to not just reshore manufacturing from Asia but to create the jobs of the future, to how the Covid-19 pandemic has forced the team to develop more and more technical textiles. Elsewhere, he talks about collaborating with universities to update curriculums, the driving force that is sustainability, and how there’s a possibility of opening a second facility in the future.
