Vantage Apparel, Avenel, N.J., has moved its embroidery facility in Santa Ana, Calif., to an expanded 17,000 square-foot space.
The new facility’s address, 3321 S. Susan Street, is located just a mile from the original plant and opened for business on Jan. 7.
“The market has responded well to our on-demand model for decorated apparel and is taking advantage of recent freight incentive programs with SanMar, alphabroder, and S&S Activewear,” says Vantage’s President and Chief Executive Officer Ira Neaman. “Doubling our space in California has enabled us to add single-piece embroidery service and eliminate receiving and storage constraints. Strategic investments in equipment will double our production over the next two years.”
The new location operates 140 embroidery heads, maintains an onsite showroom, has a separate meeting space for local distributors and is synced with the company’s headquarters and central embroidery facility in St. Louis. This provides distributors with a national embroidery network, consistent quality and award-winning service across the United States, according to the company.
An open house for promotional-products distributors is planned for mid-February. To attend the event or to schedule a visit, contact Jeff Jennings, Vantage Apparel’s facility manager. — D.S.
