SanMar

SanMar is a wholesale supplier of imprintable clothing and accessories, serving imprinters, decorators and promotional products distributors. Founded in 1971 as a family-run t-shirt supplier by Marty Lott, the company describes itself as the largest supplier of promotional apparel in the United States and ranked No. 1 on the PPAI 100 List. It employs more than 5,500 people and is headquartered in Issaquah, Washington.

The product line covers t-shirts, polos, tank tops, fleece, jackets and outerwear, casual apparel and accessories. Much of the range is imported from factories around the world and supplied wholesale; multiple distribution centres across the United States support nationwide delivery.

SanMar remains family-owned and is now managed by the third generation of the Lott family. It states that its founding principle is that being nice and telling the truth is a better way of doing business, and it frames its work around making meaningful connections between businesses and their audiences. The company has been recognised as a US Best Managed Company.
