The City of Industry, California, supplier will also offer apparel from Adidas, Oakley, Champion, Columbia, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Burnside along with key basic brands Gildan, Hanes, Jerzees, Anvil, Bella and Canvas, Next Level, American Apparel, Comfort Colors, Comfort Wash, Augusta Sportswear, Badger Sportswear, Independent Trading Company, J America and MV Sport.

“With imprint locations in California, Ohio and Kentucky, we look at this opportunity as a one P.O., one freight charge and one contact convenience for our customers,” says Kellie Claudio, senior vice president of sales and marketing. “After years of planning, we are certainly ready to enter this category. Offering complete event packages from bags to rags, Sweda is making the distributor search a one-stop solution. I am over the moon thrilled about this category addition! It is like coming home to my apparel roots!”
