The brand's high-quality materials, which are sourced from around the world, create clothing with extremely comfortable fits and category-leading performance characteristics, including anti-odor and anti-microbial properties. The omni-channel brand has experienced tremendous growth since inception and has a loyal customer following that contributes to its category-leading position. Rhone has wholesale partnerships with a presence in influential retailers including Equinox, REI and Nordstrom.

“As Rhone has gone through a maturation process and we begin to standardize product development and innovation, it was necessary for us to identify a technology partner that would help elevate those efforts,” said Kyle McClure, creative director, Rhone. “After an exhaustive search, NGC offered us the platform to support our brand growth today, tomorrow and in the years to come.”

“Rhone is using advanced materials and state-of-the-art technology, combined with exceptional craftsmanship, to create a new standard in activewear, and NGC is incredibly excited to be part of its story,” said Mark Burstein, president, New Generation Computing. “With Andromeda, Rhone will be able to continuously improve its business by realizing the benefits of the digital supply chain, enabling the brand to optimize product lead time and distribution, in order to maximize revenue and profit.”
