Apollo USA is expanding into Texas. The Gardena, California-based supplier is on track to begin construction of a new facility in North Richland Hills, northeast of Fort Worth, later this year.

Apollo USA, a minority-owned company, produces an extensive range of promotional products and apparel using embroidery, heat transfer, laser etching and screen-printing processes.

• Along with its California location, it has facilities in Grove Village, Illinois, and Pennsauken, New Jersey, representing a combined footprint of 200,000 square feet between them.

• The company is led by Dora Zhang and currently employs about 250 people.

Apollo USA’s Texas facility is expected to open in summer 2023, with 70,000 square feet spread across production and office space. The supplier plans on hiring approximately 50 new staff members in Texas.

“Texas has always been in our expansion plans. Now is the right time, and we are ready,” says Zhang. “The new facility allows us to better cover our Midwest client base and in Texas, which we have been lacking.”

The Texas location will support a range of capabilities, including embroidery, heat transfer and woven labels and patches, as well as drop shipping and kitting of Apollo’s entire product line.
