Oritain, a global name in forensic origin verification, announces that Next Level Apparel has joined Oritain’s Membership Program at Gold level, reinforcing its focus on ethical sourcing, supply chain transparency, and independent verification of product origin.

Next Level Apparel has supported the global fashion sector for more than 20 years, building a reputation for craftsmanship, quality and responsible sourcing, the company shares in a press release. Over the last few years, Next Level Apparel has worked with Oritain to support the integrity of its cotton textile products through independent, science-based verification, and in 2026 expanded this as one of Oritain’s earliest Gold Members.

As Eric Simsolo, president of Next Level Apparel, explains in the press release, “Integrity has always been central to how we operate at Next Level Apparel, and working with Oritain allows us to support our sourcing standards with forensic origin verification, providing our customers with greater clarity and confidence in where our materials come from, from fiber through to finished product.”

Oritain’s Membership Program connects members with a global community of responsible buyers and suppliers all committed to the highest standards of supply chain transparency. Oritain’s Gold Membership represents its most robust program, with access to faster test turnaround times, dedicated account management and supply chain insights, supporting ongoing, programmatic verification across complex global supply chains.

As Gemma Lynch, chief customer officer at Oritain, notes in a press statement, “By embedding independent, science-based origin verification into their supply chain, Next Level Apparel is strengthening confidence in both their products and the claims that support them, while contributing to greater transparency and trust across the apparel industry.”
