068. Matthew Wallace on DXM: An On-Shore, On-Demand Manufacturer Co-Owned by Shahi Exports, Brandix, MAS Holdings, Busana Group, and Carhartt (Part 2)

This is part two of our conversation with Matthew Wallace, CEO of DXM. The conversation is co-hosted by Gauri Sharma, Senior Manager for Organizational Development at Shahi Exports and Co-Founder of SUSS.

DXM is a local, on-demand manufacturing company that’s co-owned by different supply chain actors. There are five founding partners: Shahi Exports, Brandix, MAS Holdings, and Busana Group, and Carhartt.

In this episode we get into who the partners are, what the process for bringing together such massive competitors was actually like, what the fashion industry can learn from other industries, and what the social and environmental implications of the DXM model might be.

I published this some time ago, but given the themes of this episode, it seems like an appropriate time to bring it back: Why Shared Financial Risk is the Key To Radically Transforming the Fashion Industry.
