We are very excited to announce our recent acquisition of Unmade, a software company that enables sportswear brands such as New Balance and Decathlon and fashion brands such as Ralph Lauren to offer customised clothing on-demand.

The deal creates a huge opportunity to build a digital-first, globally distributed manufacturing model to meet customer demand and builds on two years of partnership between Unmade and Hi-Tech during which we have successfully delivered custom apparel to teams all the way from amateur clubs to professional athletes and everything in between.

The acquisition will combine Hi-Tech’s manufacturing and logistics expertise with Unmade’s technologies to create a market leading solution for brands and retailers looking for a better approach to teamwear and customisation. Unmade’s team will also have access to Hi-Tech Apparel’s significant resources, expertise and customer base.

Unmade’s technology enables brands to turn designs into manufacturing ready data, lowering minimum order quantities, reducing waste, and boosting manufacturers’ responsiveness.

Wason Vitanakorn, CEO of Hi-Tech Apparel said: “Unmade perfectly aligns with Hi-Tech Apparel’s mission to build the digital infrastructure needed to achieve manufacturing distribution across multiple geographies in a demand-driven industry. We have worked closely with the hugely talented Unmade team for a number of years and believe in their ability to build on what is already industry-leading software to give our customers the responsiveness they demand.”
