The company’s product offering, as described in available information, includes sportswear and outerwear made from knitted fabric. In earlier descriptions, Jerash is also noted as a manufacturer and exporter of customized, ready-made sport and outerwear from knitted fabric, with products such as jackets, polo shirts, crew neck shirts, pants, and shorts. Its customer base has included large retailers and brand owners in the United States and other markets.
Jerash’s own press releases state that it manufactures and exports custom, ready-made sportswear and outerwear for VF Corporation (which owns brands such as The North Face, Timberland, and Vans), New Balance, G‑III (which licenses brands such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY, Nautica, and Guess, depending on the specific release), Acushnet Holdings Corp (FootJoy), American Eagle, and Skechers. These relationships position Jerash as a contract manufacturer for well-known global apparel and footwear brands.
Jerash’s production footprint, as described in multiple news releases, consists of six factory units and four warehouses in Jordan. The company reports that it employs approximately 6,000 people to support its manufacturing operations. This capacity underpins its ability to handle orders from multiple large customers and to respond to changing demand across its sportswear and outerwear lines.
From a geographic perspective, Jerash’s disclosures highlight that it manufactures in Jordan and exports to global brands, with prior descriptions indicating that a significant portion of revenue is derived from the United States. Company communications also emphasize Jordan’s role as a preferred destination for global brands seeking to diversify manufacturing partnerships beyond certain regions, which supports Jerash’s positioning as a Jordan-based exporter in the apparel manufacturing supply chain.
In its proxy materials, Jerash notes that it concluded a recent fiscal year with record annual sales and that its evolving product and customer mix contributed to improved gross margin. The company also highlights that it resumed profitability before taxation in that fiscal year and continued to post pretax profit in subsequent quarters, attributing this to better planning and execution of logistics and production, as well as changes in supply chain routing.
Jerash’s communications describe ongoing capacity expansion. The company reports that an expansion of its main production building was completed, with production capacity expected to increase by about 15%. It also references a long-term expansion plan, including potential acquisitions and facility development on its own land, as well as the expansion of a satellite factory in cooperation with the Jordanian government to provide employment opportunities in a remote area.
In the area of corporate responsibility and workforce practices, Jerash’s definitive proxy statement outlines several initiatives. The company states that it is advancing environmental, social, and governance goals, including reducing its carbon footprint by expanding solar panel installations to more production facilities and a new dormitory. It also notes efforts to strengthen sourcing in Jordan and the broader Middle East and Africa to shorten supply chains. Jerash indicates that it aims to pay a living wage, create a safe and rewarding work environment, and provide access to employment for displaced or disadvantaged workers, including Syrian refugees through initiatives with the United Nations and local women through collaboration with the Jordanian government. The company also references a newly constructed six‑story dormitory and canteen as part of its employee welfare efforts.
Jerash’s public filings and proxy materials further describe its corporate governance framework, including a board with a mix of independent and non‑independent directors, board committees, a code of ethics, an anti‑corruption policy, an insider trading policy, and a clawback policy. The company emphasizes annual elections for directors, board and committee self‑evaluations, and governance practices intended to support accountability and transparency for stockholders.
