In Memoriam: Miguel Sánchez It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Miguel Sánchez, a cherished member of our team and community. Miguel’s roles were many: a dedicated board member of the Transformers Foundation, the innovative technology lead at Kingpins, a skilled engineer, a profound chemist, and an unparalleled expert in denim. Beyond his professional achievements, he was a mentor, a teacher, a devoted husband, a loving father, and so much more. Miguel’s legacy extends far beyond his work, touching the lives of friends, family, colleagues, and countless individuals whom he inspired and guided. We will miss Miguel deeply. In honor of his memory, Andrew Olah has penned a tribute on the Kingpins Show website, reflecting on Miguel’s profound influence on the denim industry and the impact he had on all of us. We invite you to read this tribute and join us in celebrating Miguel’s life by sharing your own memories, stories, and thoughts in the comments section. Miguel’s spirit and contributions will forever be a part of us. 💙 Kingpins Show tribute: https://lnkd.in/gs93tmbX Thank you to Mohsin Sajid and Sadia Rafique for creating this beautiful video 'Remembering Miguel Sànchez': https://lnkd.in/gckSHWAv
Transformers Foundation
Non-profit Organizations
The unified voice representing the Denim Industry's change.
About us
In spite of its size as market segment and industry, Denim Manufacturing has never been represented by an organization to defend its importance and value in front of other business stakeholders, neither with Brands nor with NGOs focusing their activities in Fashion and how it is produced. The voice of Denim has not been strongly heard in the media either when each company involved in any part of Denim Manufacturing was fighting for themself to express how Innovative and Technically Advanced is our Industry. Based on the continuous feedback from the Kingpins Exhibitors about this lack of representation and the interest on having continuous coordination, information and education throughout the complete supply chain, the Transformers Foundation was formed as a non-profit organization. Transformers Foundation aims to be the central point for the Denim Industry, working at different levels (educational, collaboration with other organizations to cover all social, eco-tox and technical topics, and also generate new interest from the market on a really high added value type of Fashion).
