SanMar Corporation Partners with A4 as Its Largest Nationwide Distributor Starting in 2025

SanMar Corporation, a leading wholesale supplier of apparel and accessories, announced that A4, a premier manufacturer of performance sports apparel, will join SanMar’s portfolio of industry brands in 2025 as its largest nationwide distributor.

Mark Mertens, CEO and owner of A4, described the partnership as a significant milestone for the company. “This is an exciting step forward for A4,” said Mertens. “For years, we’ve worked alongside SanMar to grow the activewear market. Now, by joining forces, we’re poised to accelerate that growth through innovative products, exceptional service, and faster speed to market.”

Mertens emphasized the shared values between the two companies, both of which are family-owned. “A4 and SanMar are aligned in our commitment to coworkers, suppliers, and customers. This partnership is a natural fit on many levels and sets the stage for a promising future.”

The collaboration aims to meet the growing demand for performance sports apparel by offering a curated collection of 24 essential styles.

Steve Cuthbert, SanMar’s Chief Revenue Officer, echoed this sentiment: “We always listen to our customers, and they’ve made it clear that they want A4 at SanMar. By adding this trusted and reliable brand, we’re delivering what our customers need to succeed in the expanding sports market.”

The A4 collection, launching in spring 2025, will include performance-driven stock uniforms available in adult, women’s, and youth sizes. The lineup will feature a range of jerseys, tees, fleece, and shorts. Customers will be able to purchase A4 products on SanMar.com starting early 2025.
