Andrew Olah has worked in the textile business since 1976 and has been focused on the jeans industry since 1979. He is the second-generation leader of his company, which in 2022 will celebrate its 63nd year in business.

In 2004, Andrew created the Kingpins Show, the first-ever denim supply chain trade show. He helped produce the capstone jeans brand course at the Fashion Institute of Technology for 15 years.
