Bograntex

What Bograntex does

Bograntex is a privately held Brazilian apparel manufacturer founded in 1990 and headquartered in Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina. It designs and manufactures infant and youth clothing under five brands—Boca Grande, BGR, Glinny, Pink Soda, and Vestir e Sorrir—covering everyday wear, beachwear, pajamas, and age groups from babies to teenagers. The company reports a 7,000 m² manufacturing footprint and approximately 600 direct and indirect jobs.

Commercialization is primarily wholesale. Bograntex sells through a national network of sales representatives, a B2B ordering portal, and the Portal do Lojista to thousands of multi-brand retailers across Brazil. Its GeoVendas platform, provided through IBTECH, supports sales-force automation, analytics, customer and order management, invoicing, payments, and B2B and B2C commerce. Bograntex also operates the Vestir e Sorrir store in Jaraguá do Sul for direct retail sales; public pricing information is not available.

Its production and procurement activities include a partnership with Eurofios that sends over 80 tonnes of textile waste per year for recycling. Bograntex also participates in the PERFIL Sustentável renewable-electricity program, the eureciclo packaging-recycling and environmental-compensation program, and Movimento Sou de Algodão, which promotes responsible cotton production. These initiatives form part of the company's disclosed sustainability and sourcing practices rather than separate digital products.
