New Mexico-based Jewelry Manufacturer finds Room to Grow

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Dec. 27 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Relios, America's largest manufacturer of natural lifestyle designer jewelry has more than doubled its size with a move into a 25,000-square-foot facility in Albuquerque. The move also means that Relios has also more than doubled its production capacity - allowing the major jewelry supplier to expand services to its more than 500 customers.

"It's amazing how a building like this gives us the ability to better assist our customers in the areas of production, distribution, quality, and dependability - not to mention gives us room to grow!"

The company's new home is located at 6815 Academy Parkway West in Albuquerque. It boasts a large well-lighted factory space, along with offices, conference rooms, and a design studio to accommodate its 140-employees.

"Our new space allows us to better serve our customers," says Pollack. "It gives us an opportunity to be better organized and efficient in our manufacturing processes. Now we can handle more of the distribution for our customers - including merchandising, labeling, and drop-shipments."

"Our ability to be creative has expanded tremendously with this move," says Vice-President and Lead Jewelry Designer Carolyn Pollack. "We have literally quadrupled the number of new designs since moving to the larger space."

The company has been nationally recognized for its customer focus, merchandising teamwork, innovation, and operational excellence. More recently, Relios was honored by the City of Albuquerque for its efforts to reduce waste, and its dedication to pollution prevention practices.

"Corporate responsibility is not just a nice catch phrase to get people to think we're doing the right thing - at Relios, we're actually doing it," says Relios President Bill Pollack. "Every piece of jewelry we manufacture is lead-free and nickel-free, and we use only recycled precious metals. It's a commitment we've made to our customers, as well as our environment."

Relios, which has been designing and manufacturing jewelry from real silver and stones in the USA since 1975, will go through seven tons of silver this year, and ship more than 700,000 finished pieces of jewelry throughout the world. That's three pieces of jewelry for every woman in Albuquerque!

Relios Jewelry designs and manufactures more than 100 new items per season from their Albuquerque, New Mexico factory. Their moderately priced, American jewelry styles can be found online at www.relioswholesale.com.

Acme Made Introduces All New Line of Innovative Totes and Laptop Bags

PORTLAND, Ore. - Dec. 8 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Acme Made(R) has recently introduced its new line of designer bags and laptop cases for the holidays. The highlights of the line include the "Metro Tote," their new Telun vulcanized canvas, and their sustainable textile, EcoStripe.

Caption: Acme Made Metro ToteThe Metro Tote is one of the most innovative business/laptop bags available. Developed in Italy, the Metro Tote features a removable laptop "bag-within-a-bag" concept. "With a couple quick snaps the inner bag can be removed and carried separately when you just want to take your laptop to a meeting or coffee shop," explains Acme Made partner, Kirk Thornby. "Or, snap the sleeve out and use the Metro as a spacious weekend tote - the whole idea is to design a lot of versatility into a stylish, everyday bag for both work and weekends."

The Courier is the company's new shoulder bag for men and women. The clean and modest styling offers a lot of functionality "under the hood," a plethora of pockets, and a cool zippered center pocket dividing and organizing the large main compartment.

The Vert Tote is Acme Made's answer to a more classic, all-around tote bag. It's a functional, unisex design with a portrait-style or "vertical" orientation allowing it to carry a lot more within a relatively small footprint. The Vert Tote features short leather handles and a removable shoulder strap.

Textiles are also a big part of the new line. Their "Telun" textile is an Italian-made "vulcanized canvas" that is matte black rubber that has been adhered to a natural canvas backing which gives the Acme Made bags a very unique appearance while the rubber coating creates additional stain and water protection. The new "Eco Stripe" adds sustainability to the company's textile mix. Woven from 100% post industrial and post consumer polyester, the Eco Stripe is a just the first of many sustainable textiles Acme Made plans to incorporate in the near future.

About Acme Made(R)
Acme Made is a Portland,OR and San Francisco, CA based company specializing in innovative designer business bags, totes, and laptop cases. They develop products using imported, European leather and textiles as well as sustainable materials.
