CreateMe Partners With Avalo and Laguna Fabrics to Build Resilient Apparel Supply Chains

CreateMe Technologies Inc. has formed strategic partnerships with Avalo and Laguna Fabrics to launch Seed to System, an initiative that integrates climate-smart cotton, domestic textile production, and robotic garment assembly into a single AI-driven ecosystem. The collaboration aims to demonstrate how apparel can be manufactured more quickly, locally, and with greater supply chain robustness.

“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.”

Myers added that together with Avalo and Laguna Fabrics, CreateMe is showing brands how to achieve greater speed, resilience, and responsiveness through a more connected manufacturing ecosystem.

Addressing Fragmentation in the Apparel Industry

CreateMe, founded in 2019 and based in Newark, California, specializes in automated soft-material manufacturing, beginning with apparel. The company’s unified platform combines advanced robotics, proprietary adhesive bonding, and physical AI to produce garments with precision and consistency that traditional sewing cannot match. Its MeRA robotic assembly system recently received a 2026 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award.

The company noted that while parts of the apparel supply chain already exist within the United States, the industry has historically operated through fragmented systems with limited coordination among agriculture, textile manufacturing, and garment production. Decades of offshoring in pursuit of lower costs lengthened lead times, reduced visibility, increased emissions, and introduced inefficiencies between production stages. Seed to System seeks to connect climate-smart agriculture, advanced textile development, and automated assembly into one collaborative framework.

How Seed to System Operates

The initiative will launch as a pilot to demonstrate a fully integrated apparel manufacturing system. The process begins locally in Texas, where Avalo uses AI-assisted climate-smart cotton innovation to naturally evolve cotton genetics for more efficient and sustainable raw material production while maintaining quality, according to 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,” Carey said.

Next, Laguna Fabrics spins the cotton into fabric at its California facility, using its knitting and dyeing capabilities. “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,” said David Roshan, president of Laguna Fabrics.

Finally, CreateMe’s commercial-grade automated assembly platforms—MeRA and Pixel—produce the finished garments.

The partners plan to continue development through the summer, focusing on product design, material storytelling, and process visibility. They aim to launch a capsule during Climate Week, followed by a broader release.
