“We moved our entire fleece program to Gripco after two failed suppliers. Three years, eleven bulk orders, zero delays. Their size grading is consistent lot after lot, and that alone saved us thousands in returns.”
Marcus Thornton
Sourcing Director, Thornton Apparel Group
Austin, TX | 18,000 pcs / yr | 3 yrs
“CE documentation was in order on the first submission, which never happens. Their team re-engineered our armor placement in two sample rounds and still hit our Q4 window with room to spare.”
Danielle Reyes
VP of Merchandising, Ridgeline Moto Supply
Denver, CO | 6,000 pcs / yr | 2 yrs
“The thermo-bonded match balls test better than product we were importing at twice the cost. Sublimation artwork comes back exactly as sent, and they handle all export paperwork to our Chicago warehouse.”
Kevin O'Shea
Founder & CEO, Northside Sporting Goods
Chicago, IL | 40,000 pcs / season | 4 yrs
“Six-pocket cargos are our bread and butter, and Gripco's bartack quality passed every field test our uniform clients threw at them. Waistband consistency across 12 colorways is exceptional.”
Priya Nair
Procurement Manager, Atlas Workwear Co
Atlanta, GA | 22,000 pcs / yr | 2 yrs
“We spec goatskin with TPU knuckles in four glove families. Gripco's knuckle molds match our CAD drawings to the millimeter, and their touchscreen tips actually work after six months of wear.”
Brian Callahan
Head of Product, Redline Rider Co
Los Angeles, CA | 15,000 pairs / yr | 2 yrs
“As a first-time importer I expected chaos. Instead I got a dedicated account manager, weekly photo updates from the line, and a DDP delivery that showed up two days early. Already placing order two.”
Sofia Delgado
Owner, Harbor & Pine Outfitters
Portland, OR | 8,000 pcs first order
“Solid roundness and rebound tests on the last two containers. One early shipment had a liner misalignment on about 2% of units, and Gripco credited it immediately and fixed the mold. That is how you keep a buyer.”
Andre Fischer
Supply Chain Manager, Vertex Team Gear
Minneapolis, MN | 25,000 pcs / yr
“The enzyme wash on our khaki cargos comes back identical every single reorder. Our Amazon sell-through doubled after switching to their 280 GSM twill. Communication is sharp, even with the time difference.”
Lauren Whitfield
Merchandising Director, BluePeak Merch
Charlotte, NC | 10,000 pcs / drop
“450 GSM fleece with no pilling after torture testing. We ran their sample against three competing factories, and Gripco won on hand-feel alone, beating everyone's price by double digits.”
Jamal Brooks
Purchasing Lead, Ironwood Athletics
Columbus, OH | 30,000 pcs / yr
“Their CE EN 1621 paperwork sailed through our compliance review. The reflective piping spec we requested was custom-engineered at no extra tooling charge. Rare to see a factory treat small runs this seriously.”
Rachel Nguyen
Operations Director, Coastal Clubs Supply
San Diego, CA | 4,500 pcs / yr
“Club crests printed flawlessly at full bleed on 12,000 balls. Retail buyers actually complimented the box packaging. We moved 100% of our promo ball volume to Gripco this year.”
Tom Ellery
Founder, Prairie Sports Group
Omaha, NE | 12,000 pcs / season
“Three years in and the reorder process is now a two-email exercise. They archive our patterns, trims, and wash recipes perfectly. Lead time has never slipped past 30 days. Unheard of in this industry.”
Monica Alvarez
VP of Sourcing, LoneStar Textile Partners
Dallas, TX | 35,000 pcs / yr | 3 yrs
“Quality and pricing are excellent and their AQL reports are thorough. Only note: our first container took an extra week during peak season, but they flagged it early and upgraded half to air freight at their cost.”
Chris Vanderpool
Sourcing Director, MetroWare Uniforms
Richmond, VA | 18,000 pcs / yr
“The private label execution is boutique-grade. Woven labels, embroidered chest logos, and custom hangtags all arrive retail-ready out of the carton. Our wholesale accounts assumed we switched to a domestic maker.”
