SEATTLE (July 28, 2011) – Following a rigorous, year-long review process, Cutter & Buck has received its Quality Certification Alliance (QCA) designation from this independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit accrediting organization for industry suppliers. QCA certification helps protect the brand and reputation by offering compliance with the highest product standards in the market.
Seattle-based Cutter & Buck, which designs and markets under the Cutter & Buck brand, manufactures upscale sportswear and outerwear apparel that is distinctive and comfortable, of high quality materials and enhanced with rich detailing. The company sells its products through golf pro shops and resorts, specialty retail shops, corporate sales and online at cutterbuck.com.
“Through our two decades in business Cutter & Buck has been committed to the highest standards of quality as well as social and environmental safety and compliance,” said Joel Freet, National Sales Manager of Corporate Sales & Licensing. “We are thrilled to have completed out QCA initial accreditation and are looking forward to working more closely with those retailers and promotional distributors that count on full compliance and supply chain awareness.”
According to Freet, the QCA framework was exactly what the company was seeking to continue its tradition of compliance and product quality.
QCA’s mission is to provide the supplier base for the promotional products industry with a common set of third party standards, consistently providing safe, high-quality, socially compliant and environmentally conscious merchandise, while remaining transparent to distributors, clients and ultimately the end user. The organization is committed to ensuring merchandise that is manufactured, imprinted and imported by accredited supplier companies conforms to the highest degree of established domestic and international product laws, regulations and standards for that product.
