This initiative aims to connect climate-smart cotton, domestic textile manufacturing, and robotic garment assembly into a single AI-assisted ecosystem.\n\nThe partnership aims to demonstrate how apparel can be produced faster, more locally, and with greater supply chain resilience.\n\n“We believe the future of apparel manufacturing depends on building connected systems across material innovation, textile development, and advanced automation,” said Cam Myers, founder and CEO of CreateMe. “This partnership is not about recreating legacy supply chains. It is about building a new foundation for apparel manufacturing, one powered by technical innovation, AI-assisted development, and closer collaboration between next-generation partners.”\n\n“Together with Avalo and Laguna Fabrics, we are demonstrating how brands can unlock greater speed, resilience, and responsiveness through a more connected manufacturing ecosystem,” he said.\n\nFounded in 2019, CreateMe specializes in automated soft-material manufacturing, starting with [apparel](https://www.therobotreport.com/tag/apparel/). The Newark, Calif.-based [company](https://www.therobotreport.com/tag/createme) has developed a unified platform combining advanced robotics, proprietary adhesive bonding, and physical [AI](https://www.therobotreport.com/category/design-development/ai-cognition/) to produce garments with precision and consistency unattainable through traditional sewing.\n\nCreateMe’s [MeRA](https://www.createme.com/mera) robotic assembly system won a [2026 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award](https://www.therobotreport.com/rbr50-2026-report/).\n\n## CreateMe hopes to fix a fragmented apparel industry\n\nCreateMe said it made Seed to System to explore a new model for developing and producing apparel across the U.S. with connected innovation partners. While portions of the apparel supply chain already exist domestically, the industry has historically operated through fragmented systems and with limited coordination between agriculture, textile manufacturing, and garment production, it said.\n\nDecades of offshoring in pursuit of lower costs also lengthened lead times, reduced visibility, increased emissions across the supply chain, and added inefficiencies between production stages, observed CreateMe.\n\nSeed to System connects climate-smart [agriculture](https://www.therobotreport.com/category/markets-industries/ag/), advanced textile development, and automated [assembly](https://www.therobotreport.com/category/markets-industries/assembly/) into one collaborative framework. CreateMe, Avalo, and Laguna Fabrics said they aim to demonstrate a more modern and resilient approach to apparel manufacturing infrastructure.\n\n## How will Seed to System work?\n\nSeed to System will initially launch as a pilot to demonstrate how a fully integrated apparel [manufacturing](https://www.therobotreport.com/category/markets-industries/manufacturing/) system can work in practice. The assembly process begins locally in Texas, with [Avalo](https://www.avalo.ai/cotton)‘s AI-assisted climate-smart cotton innovation. [Laguna Fabrics](https://lagunafabrics.com/) then spins this cotton into fabric in California with its knitting and dyeing capabilities.\n\n“Avalo leverages AI to naturally evolve cotton genetics to create more efficient and sustainable raw material production, while maintaining quality,” said Tricia Carey, chief commercial officer at Avalo. “This technology creates much-needed resilience on the farm, and we are excited to partner with innovators that are using AI to deliver the same climate-smart efficiency to the rest of the supply chain.”\n\nFinally, CreateMe’s commercial-grade automated assembly platforms, [MeRA](https://www.createme.com/mera) and [Pixel](https://www.createme.com/pixel), produce the finished garments.\n\n“Laguna Fabrics is proud to help connect material innovation to scalable textile development,” said David Roshan, president of Laguna Fabrics. “Building a better apparel system requires practical infrastructure, and this partnership demonstrates how knitting, dyeing, and manufacturing can work together in a more transparent and responsive way.”\n\nBuilding on the announcement, the partners said they plan to continue development through the summer with a focus on product design, material storytelling, and process visibility ahead of a planned Climate Week activation and capsule launch.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/createme-partners-with-avalo-and-laguna-fabrics-to-bring-resilience-to-apparel", "canonical_source": "https://www.therobotreport.com/createme-partners-with-avalo-and-laguna-fabrics-to-bring-resilience-to-apparel-supply-chains/", "published_at": "2026-06-23 17:09:52+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-23 23:52:13.021917+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["robotics", "artificial-intelligence", "ai-agents", "ai-products", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["CreateMe Technologies", "Avalo", "Laguna Fabrics", "Cam Myers", "Tricia Carey", "MeRA", "Pixel", "RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/createme-partners-with-avalo-and-laguna-fabrics-to-bring-resilience-to-apparel", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/createme-partners-with-avalo-and-laguna-fabrics-to-bring-resilience-to-apparel.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/createme-partners-with-avalo-and-laguna-fabrics-to-bring-resilience-to-apparel.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/createme-partners-with-avalo-and-laguna-fabrics-to-bring-resilience-to-apparel.jsonld"}}
