In a significant move following its acquisition of Alphabroder, S&S Activewear has announced the closure of the Alphabroder Pompano Beach, Florida, warehouse. The decision is part of S&S Activewear’s ongoing efforts to streamline operations and improve efficiencies across its network. DecoNetwork users who rely on integrated product catalogs may also be affected by this closure, but the primary impact will be felt by customers of Alphabroder and S&S Activewear.
The Alphabroder Pompano Beach Warehouse Closure Timeline
The Alphabroder Pompano Beach, Florida, warehouse is scheduled to cease operations by March 31, 2025. According to S&S Activewear, the decision to close this facility is a strategic move aimed at enhancing operational efficiency following the company’s acquisition of Alphabroder in late 2024.
“We are optimizing our network by combining operations into larger locations equipped with advanced technology. This will enable us to provide deeper inventory levels, better product availability, and improved service in these regions,” said Frank Meyers, S&S Activewear CEO.
The integration of Alphabroder’s operations has been an extensive process, including the consolidation of distribution centers to better serve customers across North America. The closure of the Pompano Beach facility is a calculated step in this overall strategy.
S&S Activewear’s Alphabroder Integration Efforts
S&S Activewear’s acquisition of Alphabroder was completed in late 2024, a deal that has been described as a landmark moment in the promotional products and branded merchandise industry. Since then, the company has worked to integrate Alphabroder’s assets, including product catalogs, distribution centers, and sales operations.
The company has been updating its systems to include Alphabroder’s catalog products on its website, which has impacted various partners, including DecoNetwork. While DecoNetwork continues to support product catalog integrations from S&S Activewear, the recent closure announcement highlights the ongoing adjustments being made to improve overall efficiency.

We are committed to optimizing our distribution network and are confident this change will have minimal impact on your experience with S&S.” stated Frank.
