MOA International

Manufacturing in Manhattan is a rare beast these days, but the Garment District still hums with the kind of quiet industry that keeps the city’s supply chains moving. MOA International fits neatly into that rhythm, occupying a slice of the neighborhood where fabric bolts and machinery once dominated the sidewalks. The address—1261 Broadway # 209, New York, NY 10001—places it just steps from the old loft buildings that once housed hundreds of similar operations, though most have since given way to co-working spaces or boutique hotels. What remains is a stubborn persistence of production, a nod to the borough’s grittier roots.

Those in the market for custom fabrication or small-batch production might find the number (212) 686-1185 worth jotting down. The area itself is a study in contrasts, where delivery trucks idle beside art galleries and lunch counters cater to both factory workers and tech startups. Directions to the office are straightforward enough: pull up the map and follow the grid.
