Overview: The company distributes its products in retail and wholesale markets as well as directly to sports teams and athletic organizations around the country. The Fayetteville manufacturing facility is highly vertically integrated, performing most of the tasks that make finished apparel out of basic textile materials. After attending energy efficiency workshops, staff at MJ Soffe decided to target energy as a potential area for cost reduction. Upon review of steam system performance, MJ Soffe staff realized that the water heating system could not keep up with many of the production surges. MJ Soffe achieved lower operating costs and better performance from its energy improvement projects.
