A4 Goes Green with Recycled Polyester
A4, manufacturer of premium sportswear and team uniforms, is now making all its most popular apparel, and the vast majority of its line, with recycled polyester.
FULL STORYS&S Activewear, Bolingbrook, Ill., recently leased an additional 187,000 square feet to expand its Robbinsville, N.J., location.
Upon its completion, the facility will measure more than 480,000 square feet. The expansion is slated for operation within the next few weeks.
“S&S now operates 1.7 million square feet across the country,” says Jim Shannon, president of S&S Activewear. “The expansion in New Jersey is a critical step toward growing S&S’s presence on the East Coast.”
The expanded facility will allow the company to boost its product offering and inventory depth, while increasing shipping reach up and down the Eastern seaboard. Shannon says S&S hopes the growth on the East Coast will allow the company to continue adding jobs, estimating several hundred new positions during the next few years.
According to Shannon, the Robbinsville expansion marks an important benchmark on the path of continued national growth. “We expect to continue this same growth strategy to other parts of the country within the coming years,” he says. — J.L.
