UTICA — USA Sewing will manufacture 115,000 flame-resistant combat gloves for the U.S. Army after winning a contract from the Department of Defense.
The company has already hired 60 workers at its headquarters on Utica’s Broad Street to support the contract, which is for $3.5 million. It will continue hiring until it has added a total of 100 employees, according to a news release from U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer.
“I am confident this is the first of many incoming federal contracts for USA Sewing and other Central New York manufacturers because of their proven record of excellence,” Schumer said. “These jobs will be a boost for the Utica economy and the Central New York work force.”
