Company Overview

S&S Activewear is the leading wholesaler to the imprintable apparel and uniform market in the United States and Canada. Since 1988, we’ve provided high-quality, imprintable apparel to our broad wholesale customer base. We offer high-quality apparel that allows your customers to express their creativity through wearable art through concert merchandise, school & team apparel, marathons and fun runs, company stores, theme park gift shops, and everyone in between

Today, we offer the most extensive and accessible collection of fashion-forward styles around. And we get you the goods fast. We operate ten nationwide distribution centers—that’s 4 million square feet of efficient warehouse space—and uniquely offer the largest one & two-day distribution footprint in the industry, with its products reaching 99% of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico within two days and 44 states in just one day.

We offer more than 100 brands, including Adidas, Champion, Columbia, Dickies, Fruit of the Loom, Gildan, Oakley, Richardson, Tommy Hilfiger, etc.

We have grown from a successful midwestern t-shirt and fleece distributor into an industry leader with approximately $2.5 billion in annual sales. In March 2021, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (“CD&R”) acquired S&S Activewear. CD&R believed S&S to be a leading distribution platform with sustainable competitive advantage following significant strategic investments in its geographic reach, people, and technology.
