July 16 2019 - 11:07AM
Delta Apparel, Inc. (NYSE American: DLA), a leading provider of
core activewear and lifestyle apparel products, today announced
that its digital print subsidiary, DTG2Go, LLC, a leading provider
of on-demand, direct-to-garment printed apparel, will open two new
facilities, one in the Dallas, Texas area and one in Cranbury, New
Jersey. The new facilities, which are expected to open in late
summer, will strategically integrate DTG2Go’s state-of-the-art
digital print and fulfillment platform with Delta Apparel’s blank
garment distribution network.
With these new locations, DTG2Go will further
improve its speed-to-market and elevate customer service levels
with one-day shipping to over half of all U.S. consumers, including
those in the key New York City and Dallas metropolitan areas. This
expansion will also increase its fulfillment capacity to support
the substantial growth anticipated in 2020.
Deborah Merrill, Chief Financial Officer and
President, Delta Group, commented, “We are thrilled to expand our
nationwide footprint with the opening of integrated facilities in
these important Midwest and Northeast markets. The new locations
will enhance both our delivery speed and fulfillment capabilities
and further solidify our industry-leading position in the digital
print market.”
Ms. Merrill continued, “We’ve seen success with
our integrated facility in the Miami, Florida area and these new
facilities will allow us to further leverage our Activewear
business’s low-cost supply of blank garments with DTG2Go’s
innovative digital print offerings. This single-source solution for
customers is unique in the market and allows us to take advantage
of expansion opportunities across multiple sales channels outside
of DTG2Go's traditional customer base, including brick and mortar
retailers, traditional screen printers, promotional product
providers, large brands and others.”

are printed and delivered to the end consumer with a seamless
nationwide print and fulfillment network that includes existing
