The new expansion will introduce AI-driven workflows to handle responsible sourcing, compliance and traceability, replacing previous manual processes. These solutions are intended to help Renfro Brands oversee supplier performance and manage regulatory obligations more effectively.
Headquartered in Mount Airy, North Carolina, Renfro Brands specialises in manufacturing and marketing legwear and apparel for a variety of internationally recognised brands. Founded in 1921, the company manages a broad portfolio of owned, licensed and manufactured brands.
Renfro Brands compliance and vendor services vice president Todd Roeder said: “Renfro Brands is deeply committed to thoughtful brand stewardship with 105 years of manufacturing heritage. Expanding our partnership with Inspectorio was an easy decision, based on our positive experience working with them and their extensive knowledge of our industry.
“Working with Inspectorio, we will continue to deliver quality, innovation and style across our diverse brand portfolio while ensuring the highest levels of social and environmental compliance.”
The decision to expand the partnership comes as apparel firms focus on compliance measures due to ongoing changes in global sourcing regulations. Inspectorio’s “2026 State of Supply Chain Report” indicates that over half of retail supply chain leaders have pointed to regulatory changes as a key focus every year for the past three years, with 52% seeing it as a top priority for 2026.
Inspectorio states that its technology is equipped to help Renfro Brands keep up with evolving social and environmental requirements at each sourcing location.
Inspectorio CEO Chirag Patel said: “As one of the largest global manufacturers of legwear and apparel, Renfro Brands is setting a new standard for AI-driven supply chain operations and sustainability. We’re proud to strengthen and expand Inspectorio’s partnership with Renfro Brands, one that has been built on mutual trust and a commitment to delivering impactful solutions across a complex global supplier network.”
