What Intradeco does

Intradeco Holdings is a privately-held, family-owned apparel manufacturer founded in 1982 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, with 10,500+ employees worldwide. The company operates a vertically integrated manufacturing platform spanning spinning (7.5M lbs yarn/month), knitting and dyeing (1M+ lbs/week), cutting (1.5M+ units/week), sewing, screen printing and digital sublimation, and distribution — concentrated within a 9-mile radius in Soyapango, El Salvador, with additional facilities in Honduras and Guatemala. Its core business is B2B apparel manufacturing under licenses for major brands including Wrangler, IZOD, Fruit of the Loom, Guy Harvey, Mossy Oak, RealTree, Wells Lamont, ColdPruf, and Indera, complemented by own brands UPspin Apparel and Wright's Clothing sold through e-tailers.

The company monetizes through manufacturing fees and wholesale product sales to mass-market retailers across North America (U.S., Mexico, Canada), reaching 18,000+ retail doors via direct-to-store and replenishment programs. Revenue mechanics are quote-based and negotiated per retailer or brand license, with no public pricing disclosure. Distribution is supported by U.S. fulfillment centers in Charleston, SC (AutoStore robotics, 18,000 units/day pick rate, deployed 2020) and Yadkinville, NC, plus dedicated sales offices in Miami, New York, and Bentonville, AR.

Sustainability is a central operating and commercial pillar. Intradeco sources traceable U.S. cotton (COTTON USA, U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol), uses REPREVE® recycled fiber (231M+ bottles diverted), runs on 75% renewable energy with 100% of dyeing water from power-generating units, and has invested $30M+ since 2021 in solar capacity through its Apopa Energy subsidiary (25 MW El Salvador, 5 MW Honduras completed by 2025). The company holds REPREVE Champions of Sustainability Awards (2018, 2022), LCA certification for recycled t-shirts (2023), and Great Places to Work certification since 2016, and recently formed a Recover™ joint venture (May 2025) to scale textile-to-textile recycling in Central America.
