When visions go beyond borders, real change begins. In the latest episode of Branded Wor(l)ds, two industry leaders come together who truly embody this mindset: Rob Watson, CEO of Vantage Apparel (USA), and John Lynch, CEO of Lynka (Poland), discuss their transatlantic partnership – and how they’re setting new standards in the world of decorated apparel.
Since joining forces in 2021, both companies have pursued a shared mission: premium quality, cutting-edge printing techniques, and sustainable solutions. In conversation with Jeff and Steven, Rob and John share how a transatlantic friendship grew into a globally connected network – and why cultural synergy is the ultimate key to success.
One especially moving moment: John’s ongoing commitment to supporting Ukrainian refugees in Poland. With personal dedication, a dedicated relief foundation, and hands-on help from both teams, hundreds of families were safely accommodated – a powerful example of responsibility in action.
There’s also plenty of professional insight: The episode explores new decoration technologies such as direct-to-film (DTF) printing, which opens new possibilities for challenging fabrics. Vantage is already using the technology successfully, while Lynka is exploring hybrid approaches. One thing is clear: creativity, technology, and sustainability are no longer contradictions.
This episode is a strong statement for values that connect. For companies with a bigger purpose. For an industry in transformation.
