What GMPC does

GMPC, LLC is a privately held, founder-owned full-service private label manufacturer of accessories and apparel, founded in Los Angeles in 1974 by Gary Mandel and headquartered in Santa Monica, California. The company designs, develops, sources, manufactures, and distributes custom accessories and apparel including headwear, bags, belts, wallets, knit beanies, and fashion accessories for enterprise brand clients across at least eight verticals: Sustainability, Outdoor & Performance, Action Sports, Streetwear, Fashion Retail, Theme Parks & Resorts, Health & Beauty, and Corporate & Brand Identity. Core operations span three US design studios (Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York) and a Shanghai office housing product development teams and an in-house quality assurance team of inspectors located throughout China, supported by over 40 years of curated factory partnerships across Asia.

The technology and process stack centers on three in-house design studios providing seasonal trend forecasting, a proprietary development software used to share institutional product knowledge across domestic and international teams, and an internal quality control protocol with in-line and post-production factory inspections. The company maintains certifications across OCS, GOTS, OBC, and GRS for sustainable fiber sourcing, and operates a Workplace Code of Conduct audited by both internal compliance experts and third-party auditors.

GMPC operates as a B2B enterprise sales motion using dedicated account executives, showroom experiences in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Shanghai, and trend-report content marketing. The wholly-owned retail fashion division The Accessory Collective operates from an 8,500 square foot New York City showroom. Revenue is generated through manufacturing fees on private label orders with quote-based pricing and minimum order quantities starting at 300 units per style/color on Semi-Custom Headwear, structured around multi-year enterprise contracts. GMPC is bootstrapped with no external funding, no parent company, and no public listing.
