ZURICH, SWITZERLAND — Gherzi Textil Organisation AG has announced the expansion of its North American operations, rebranding its U.S. office as “Gherzi Americas.”
This strategic move signals a broader mandate for the firm, extending its advisory services across the United States, Canada, and Latin America to address the evolving complexities of the regional textile and apparel supply chain.
Strategic Leadership and Expertise
The new division will be led by Managing Partner Robert Antoshak, supported by Partners Radhika Shrinivas and David Uricoli. The leadership team brings deep, specialized experience to the apparel and textile sectors. Robert offers extensive expertise in trade strategy, government advisory work, and apparel sourcing; Radhika focuses on strategic sourcing, product development, and supplier management; and David specializes in commercial strategy, ESG implementation, and supply chain risk assessment.
They will work in conjunction with Uday Gill, a Partner at Gherzi Textil Organisation AG based in Vancouver, to provide global consulting reach with localized execution.
Navigating a Volatile Market
The expansion arrives at a time when companies in the Americas are under pressure to rethink long-standing business assumptions. According to Robert Antoshak, competitive success in the modern market is now defined by the ability to navigate complex challenges, including geopolitical risk, sourcing shifts, compliance mandates, and shifting tariff landscapes.
Advisory Services for the Textile and Apparel Sector
Gherzi Americas is designed to move beyond traditional consulting by providing actionable, industry-specific expertise to retailers, manufacturers, brands, and investors. Key focus areas for the firm include:
- Sourcing and Supply Chain: Evaluating new sourcing regions and enhancing supply chain resilience.
- Manufacturing Development: Advising on factory capacity, operational improvement, and facility planning.
- Investment and Growth: Providing commercial due diligence, market development, and growth strategy advisory.
“Generic consulting will not cut it in the Americas,” said Giuseppe Gherzi, emphasizing the firm’s commitment to providing clients with advisors who possess deep technical knowledge of manufacturing, trade, and execution.
