our story
Valley Apparel LLC continues an uninterrupted tradition of manufacturing excellence that began in 1959. We are a small business with a manufacturing facility located in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Today, the company is led by Jeffrey Niethammer, who brings more than 35 years of experience in government contracting and manufacturing. Jeff proudly carries forward the legacy established by his father, the late John Niethammer, who guided the business for over five decades.
Our heritage is deeply rooted in serving the United States Military. From the period following the Korean Conflict, through Vietnam, the Global War on Terror, and into today’s ongoing missions, Valley Apparel has remained a trusted supplier. Over the decades, we have proudly manufactured and delivered more than four million apparel items to all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.
