Print Tex USA, a leading decorator of corporate-branded apparel and promotional products based in Louisville, Kentucky, has acquired Sportswear Design International, based in Salt Lake City.
Operating under the brand name SDI, Sportswear Design International was established in 1984 and employs 125 at its Utah plant. It was owned and operated by Martin Blundell, Clark Hodgkinson and Bradley Hale. The company is known for its line of embroidered and screen-printed apparel in the resort and sports industries.
“The acquisition of SDI, with its sports-focused customer base and West Coast operation, will allow us to better meet the needs of our growing customer base across the nation and abroad,” said Steve Dutton, vice president of Print Tex USA.
“We now have a West Coast base of operation for our fulfillment services and new channels of distribution for our business. I can’t tell you how excited we are about this acquisition,” said Greg Dutton, also a vice president at Print Tex.
“Known as one of the most professional decorators of branded apparel in the industry, Print Tex USA has been growing its full-service decorating business for over 20 years,” said Blundell. “I am extremely pleased that our capabilities were a good fit for the company and I have no doubt that they will continue to provide clients with the same great quality of service that SDI has delivered throughout the years.”
