S&S Activewear, Bolingbrook, Ill., has recently acquired Technosport Canada, marking the deal as the company’s third acquisition since 2010.
“We identified Technosport as an opportunity to expand across the border,” says Frank Myers, S&S’s chief operating and financial officer. “We’re excited to inherit such a talented team and look forward to building on the success they’ve already achieved.”
Technosport has become a recognizable brand across Canada’s wholesale apparel industry. Now, with S&S’s support, it will be able to provide a larger product offering to Canadian customers, according to the company.
“We’ve been friends with the S&S team for a very long-time, and chose them for this partnership, because like us, they are a family-owned business with the same company values,” says Luc Beauchamp, president of Technosport. “Our employees and our customers have always been our number one priority – they are like family, and we’re confident that this new relationship is going to be a great opportunity for all of us. The Technosport leadership team will continue to operate in the business alongside S&S, and we’ll be able to offer even more retail-inspired products to our loyal customers. We’re very excited to see what the future holds.”
Both S&S and Technosport have had similar parallels in growth and outreach over the years.
“We see a lot of ourselves in Technosport’s history, growth, and dedication to its people,” says Myers. “We share many of the same core values and plan to carry the Technosport spirit into the new partnership.”
S&S has always admired Technosport’s family-driven, retail-brand approach to the wholesale apparel industry and plans to support Technosport’s existing model with their large brand offering and streamlined operations, according to the company. — D.S.
