Vantage Apparel Unveils New Facility in California

Vantage Apparel, a supplier of custom-branded apparel, announced the grand opening of its new facility in Santa Ana, California, located at 1815 Ritchey Street, Ste B, Santa Ana, California.

According to Vantage, this new facility represents a significant milestone for the apparel company, showcasing its commitment to expanding contract decoration services with the inclusion of direct-to-film (DTF) to West Coast customers.

The unveiling took place during a sold-out open house event held in early May 2024 in partnership with the Specialty Advertising Association of California (SAAC). Over 50 distributor companies attended to tour the new location, providing them with a first look at the DTF capabilities and technology integrated into the facility, including Vantage’s single-piece and volume embroidery services.

“The move into our new Santa Ana facility allows for expansion of our contract decoration services,” stated Rob Watson, CEO of Vantage Apparel. “As Vantage continues to uphold its reputation as the leader in the decorated apparel industry, the new Santa Ana facility offers the industry a strategic location and with advanced capabilities like direct-to-film.”

Vantage’s new facility includes a new client experience center — a showroom and meeting space for distributors to visit and bring their end users for strategic product selection meetings. Additionally, distributors will have access to Vantage’s product lending library, which allows customers to sign out samples to use in presentations and then return when ready.

During the open house event, attendees had the opportunity to engage with Vantage Apparel’s team of experts. Additionally, guests were treated to live demonstrations showcasing the facility’s capabilities and the diverse range of customizable apparel options available.

“We are incredibly proud of the collaborative effort that has gone into bringing this new facility to fruition,” said Coleen Sylvester, Southern California account executive at Vantage Apparel. “The positive response from our valued distributors reaffirms our belief in the transformative impact of this facility.”
