The Mission of the Made in Michigan Movement is to utilize education, awareness and relationship-building to inspire consumers across all Michigan geographies to change purchasing behaviors to include more goods and services produced in their own state. The organization seeks to advance Michigan’s economy by driving the evolution of the state’s purchasing culture toward one that prefers locally produced goods and services above those produced elsewhere.

  • -- The Made in Michigan Movement is dedicated to bridging gaps in Michigan’s business and consumer communities. These gaps prevent customers from knowing about Michigan-made products, inhibit local businesses from connecting with those customers, and keep Michigan businesses from working together for the common economic good.
  • -- The Made in Michigan Movement is a direct response to demand from Michigan consumers for information about and access to Michigan-made products and services. Demand continues to grow as more Michigan residents view purchasing from local businesses as a way to support the state’s struggling economy.

COMMITTED TO SERVICE EXCELLENCE SINCE 1937

Arrow Uniform’s early beginnings can be traced to two companies that merged to become the Arrow you know today. First, Arrow Overall Supply Company began operations in Detroit, Michigan in 1937. Twelve years later, entrepreneur Thomas G. Andris began a similar company, also in the Detroit market, called Clean Coverall Supply Company. Both organizations were small, building their reputations on providing honest, superior service to their customers. In 1968, Thomas G. Andris, along with his sons, Thomas R. and Robert J., purchased Arrow Overall Supply They reorganized both companies in a way that best utilized each organization’s strengths. In 1974 Thomas G. Andris passed away, and since then Arrow Uniform has been under the guidance of Thomas R. Andris as CEO/President and Robert J. Andris as Executive Vice President.

After more than 60 years, Arrow is still a family-owned business. They remain true to their fundamental principles of honesty, trust, and integrity. Today, they operate 14 locations throughout the Midwest, with 1,000 employees successfully servicing over 15,000 customers. In 1995 Arrow began the process of modernizing its three laundry facilities and central stockroom into new state-of-the-art operations. This investment is Arrow’s commitment to the future – benefiting both our customers and employees for many years to come.
