At Borah Teamwear, we’re proud to be part of America’s custom sports apparel manufacturing sector. While many custom cycling and ski apparel brands have moved production overseas to increase profits, we’ve maintained our commitment to domestic manufacturing, contributing to an industry that is crucial for maintaining advanced manufacturing capabilities in the United States.
How Borah Delivers Quality Through Domestic Production
The decision to keep our production in Wisconsin is about more than just pride in what we do – it’s about delivering superior value to our customers. American custom sports apparel manufacturers consistently maintain higher labor standards and wages than overseas facilities, reflecting our commitment to ethical manufacturing practices. At Borah, this translates into skilled craftspeople who take pride in their work, resulting in superior quality control and customer satisfaction.
To our customers, that means high-quality performance apparel delivered in 4-7 weeks at a competitive price, with a brand they can trust. There’s a reason we haven’t missed a production deadline since 1997.
The Borah Difference
Quality Control: Our Wisconsin facility represents the best of American manufacturing, where advanced technology meets skilled craftsmanship. Borah remains competitive through innovation and efficiency, not by cutting corners.
Speed and Reliability: Our integrated domestic process delivers custom orders in 3-4 weeks – a timeline that overseas manufacturers struggle to match, especially with today’s increased tariffs and difficult trade environment.
Sustainability Leadership: We prioritize environmental responsibility and the results speak for themselves: Over 50% of our energy needs are powered by solar production placed directly on the roof of our headquarters. We recycle more than 10 tons of paper annually and use biodegradable garment bags to minimize waste and environmental impact. By producing locally, we eliminate the need for overseas transport, drastically reducing our carbon footprint.
Local Economic Impact: Specialty manufacturing plays a crucial role in maintaining high-skilled manufacturing jobs in local communities. Every Borah purchase supports American workers and helps preserve essential manufacturing capabilities within our borders.
Materials and Innovation: We carefully select every material we use, working with global suppliers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability. Our technical fabrics incorporate advanced features like moisture-wicking technology and UV protection, manufactured using eco-friendly processes. The result? Gear that performs better and lasts longer.
