Founder Sport Group Acquires Teamwork Athletic Apparel

STATESVILLE, N.C.- Founder Sport Group announces the acquisition of Teamwork Athletic Apparel. Teamwork specializes in the design, production, and delivery of customized, sublimated garments.

The acquisition of Teamwork adds a fourth custom apparel producer to Founder’s lineup. Other athletic companies in the group’s portfolio include Badger Sport, Alleson Athletic, and Garb Athletics.

“Teamwork is a perfect strategic fit for us,” says John Anton, chief executive officer of Founder Sport Group. “With Teamwork, we’re adding the industry leader in quick-turn custom sublimation and increasing our production capacity. We’ll also be able to apply Teamwork’s patent-protected technology to improve delivery times across all the brands within our portfolio.”
