New Buffalo Shirt Factory had established a large production facility in Honduras several years ago, prior to their being acquired by Gildan / Anvil.  Production and Print Development activities have been split between the two facilities for the last couple of years. 

Gildan / Anvil recently informed all employees at the NBSF Clarence, NY facility that all operations are to be consolidated into the Honduras facility. While I can understand the business reasoning behind the decision, it's sad that the company that revolutionized simulated process screen printing on black garments will cease to exist as a US Based company. 

RIP New Buffalo Shirt Factory, you will be remembered and missed.

New Buff is about 20 minutes from me...I have a feeling I am going to see some screen shops pop up around here...I would say I can snag some more employees but....I went down that road before, their habits are hard to break...
