Hi-Tech acquires UK software scaleup Unmade
We are very excited to announce our recent acquisition of Unmade, a software company that enables sportswear brands such as New Balance and Decathlon and fashion brands such as Ralph Lauren to offer customised clothing on-demand.
The deal creates a huge opportunity to build a digital-first, globally distributed manufacturing model to meet customer demand and builds on two years of partnership between Unmade and Hi-Tech during which we have successfully delivered custom apparel to teams all the way from amateur clubs to professional athletes and everything in between.
The acquisition will combine Hi-Tech’s manufacturing and logistics expertise with Unmade’s technologies to create a market leading solution for brands and retailers looking for a better approach to teamwear and customisation. Unmade’s team will also have access to Hi-Tech Apparel’s significant resources, expertise and customer base.
Unmade’s technology enables brands to turn designs into manufacturing ready data, lowering minimum order quantities, reducing waste, and boosting manufacturers’ responsiveness.
