Spectra USA has recently moved to a 500,000 square foot facility in Chino, California. We checked in with Spectra’s Brian McLaughlin to see what impact the move is having.
Please tell our readers a bit about Spectra USA
Spectra offers 10 styles of t-shirts for children and adults. We
are NAFTA-friendly; w
e cut and sew our entire product line in Baja, Mexico. Our t-shirts are made pr
imarily fro
m yarn that is knitted and dyed in the USA and most are NAFTA compliant. We maintain a large inventory in popular colors to ensure rapid turnaround.
Spectra USA is a young company and though we are growing fast, we retain the nimble response of a smaller operation. We accept any size order, from one to 1,000,000.
What are the advantages to being in Chino?
For one, our facility is much larger, which allows us to maintain the deep inventory our customers have come to expect. Our NAFTA-friendly products are stocked in large quantities for our clients in our warehouse so we can turn around orders quickly.
A second advantage is location. Being in Chino makes us an easy drive for customers in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties.
Where are your clients located?
Anywhere and everywhere! We sell to clients all over the country, and serve a lot of clients in the action sports industry. We also provide high quality t-shirts for the direct-to-garment market.
What’s next for Spectra?
We’re working on establishing our name, and we’ll be attending a lot of shows in January. Come see us at ISS Long Beach, January 18-20 (Booth #551), PPAI, January 14-18 (Booth #3666) and Toronto Imprint Canada Show January 11-12!
