About Us

Trusted Since 1930

Founded in 1930 in Indiana, Indiana Knitwear has grown into one of North America’s leading vertically integrated apparel manufacturing organizations. What began as a garment manufacturer serving the U.S. military and retail markets has evolved into a global apparel partner trusted by leading athletic, team sports, lifestyle, and corporate brands.

Today, Indiana Knitwear operates through its U.S. headquarters and its Guatemala-based manufacturing division, Hoosier Manufacturing, creating a fully integrated platform that delivers world-class product development, manufacturing, embellishment, and fulfillment solutions. Together, Indiana Knitwear and Hoosier Manufacturing combine nearly a century of manufacturing expertise with advanced technology, scalable production capabilities, and a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and customer success.

Seamlessly Connected

Our unique operating model combines strategic leadership and customer engagement in Indiana with advanced manufacturing operations in Guatemala.

While Indiana Knitwear serves as the organization’s corporate headquarters, Hoosier Manufacturing is home to product development, sampling, sourcing, manufacturing, embellishment, quality assurance, logistics, and fulfillment operations. Together, these teams operate as one organization, providing customers with the speed, flexibility, and responsiveness required in today’s marketplace.

Built for Growth

With more than 4,100 employees and over 550,000 square feet of manufacturing space, Indiana Knitwear and Hoosier Manufacturing provide the scale, stability, and operational expertise needed to support brands of every size.

Recent investments, including the development of the Hoosier Dome, have significantly expanded our manufacturing footprint and positioned the organization for continued growth. Combined with our commitment to automation, digitalization, and continuous improvement, we are building the future of apparel manufacturing while maintaining the craftsmanship and customer focus that have defined our company since 1930.
