This expanded state-of-the-art facility significantly increases our capacity and will allow us to reach all Eastern U.S. destinations within 3 days or less, and most of Eastern Canada within 4 days or less. By positioning inventory closer to key markets, we’re ensuring quicker turnaround times, improved service levels, and a reduction in air freight costs. This flagship location will also feature a full Stormtech showroom with a private space for client presentations, a sample lending library, in-house decoration cababilities and a factory outlet. This landmark project marks a significant milestone in Stormtech’s journey; reinforcing its commitment to exceptional service and operational excellence. We are also excited to launch a completely redesigned stormtechperformance.com website after years of research and development. Rebuilt from the ground up, the new website is smarter, faster, simpler and easy to use. Samples can now be ordered directly off the website, making it faster and easier to get Stormtech products in the hands of your clients. At the heart of these business is our ongoing passion for product research and development. In an industry dominated by fast fashion, we continue to offer a more compelling alternative: high quality performance products built to last and backed by a 5 year guarantee. As an outdoor brand we are also committed to environmental stewardship and employ technologies and sustainable practices that lessen our impact on our natural environment and extend product life.

We hope you will enjoy our latest Fall 25 product collection.

STORMTECH EAST Built for Speed, Powered by Purpose In August 2025, Stormtech Performance Apparel opens the doors to a landmark facility that represents a bold statement about the future of performance apparel, sustainable operations, and elevated customer experience. Strategically located in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, one of Canada’s most dynamic business hubs, the new Stormtech distribution center is poised to become the company’s Eastern flagship for North American distribution. Set within the forward-thinking Steelcase One industrial campus, the facility places Stormtech at the intersection of innovation, accessibility, and sustainability, all while reinforcing its deep commitment to supporting promotional product distributors across North America.

STORMTECHPERFORMANCE.COM

A NEW STANDARD FOR SERVICE The 165,000-square-foot facility isn’t just larger, it’s smarter. Designed to streamline operations and deliver a faster, more responsive customer experience, the site will house a full-service distribution center, corporate offices for Eastern Canada, an in-house decoration team, a product showroom, and a factory outlet store, all under one roof. From Central Canada to the Northeastern United States, customers will see the benefits immediately. Deep local inventory, shorter delivery times, and proximity to major transportation corridors mean that Stormtech can now reach more clients, more quickly, and with greater reliability than ever before. INNOVATION ON DISPLAY More than a warehouse, the Markham facility is a dynamic engagement hub for Stormtech’s distributor network. A curated showroom will allow partners to showcase best-selling products to clients in a premium environment. A sample lending library, stocked, steamed, and ready, makes it easy to bring products to life. And the integrated decoration facility enables on-site embroidery, heat transfer, and laser-etched branding with faster turnaround times.

SUSTAINABILITY AT THE CORE The building itself is a model for responsible commercial development. Stormtech’s facility is LEED-certified, part of a new wave of green industrial infrastructure built by QuadReal within the Steelcase 1 campus. The development’s white roofs, EV charging stations, LED lighting, and waste diversion program, help to minimize the impact of the facility. This focus and attention, combined with Stormtech’s own sustainability goals – create another trusted touchpoint for distributors looking to align with suppliers committed to environmentally conscious growth. Stormtech’s investment in LEED certified construction reflects more than internal values, it aligns with the ESG goals of today’s forward-thinking brands and distributor partners. Operating within a certified green building allows customers to trust that their supply chain reflects the same care and responsibility they champion in their own practices. A LAUNCHPAD FOR GROWTH Stormtech’s explosive growth across North America has underscored the need for regional infrastructure that can scale. This Markham expansion answers that need, efficiently and elegantly, offering not just operational capacity, but also a vision of what the future of service, speed, and sustainability looks like. And while the physical building is impressive, the real story is what it enables: faster fulfillment, greater customization, stronger collaboration, and a consistent focus on elevating the distributor experience.

For distributor partners it’s a full-service experience designed to convert opportunities into orders with precision and polish.

“We designed this space around the needs of our distributors. It’s about speed to market, inventory depth, and a seamless experience from sample to shipment.” Shane Brett COO

STORMTECH MAGAZINE – FALL 2025 | 3

STORMTECHPERFORMANCE.COM

“This is more than a facility. It’s a launchpad for our next phase of growth, and for our customers’ success.”

VISIT. EXPERIENCE. ELEVATE. As Stormtech prepares to open the doors in late August 2025, distributor partners are invited to experience the space firsthand. Whether it’s for a showroom tour, a quick order pickup, or a conversation about what’s next, the new Markham facility is ready to welcome you.

This is where innovation meets execution. Where sustainability meets speed. And where Stormtech meets the future.

Shane Brett COO

Sustainability in Every Square Foot Stormtech’s new Markham facility is built with sustainability at its core. Over 75% of construction waste was diverted from landfill, while eco-conscious landscaping minimizes water use. Housed in a LEED-certified building, the site features energy saving elements:

• White reflective roofing to reduce heat absorption • LED lighting with motion sensors to reduce energy use • Infrastructure for alternative solar energy.

The building is also optimized for the health of the Stormtech team working at the facility. Inside, advanced air filtration and increased natural lighting create a healthier, more comfortable environment for staff. Walking paths, landscaped grounds and outdoor seating provide easy access for a break outdoors. Secure bike storage, EV charging stations, and close proximity to public transit support greener commuting options, underscoring a commitment to both the planet and the well-being of the people who power our brand.

Speed that Delivers Stormtech’s commitment to speed and reliability takes a major leap forward with the opening of our new distribution center in Markham, Ontario. Strategically located with direct access to key transportation corridors, the facility puts millions of customers within a 1–3 day shipping range, including major U.S. cities like New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, Detroit, and major centers in eastern Canada like Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. This prime positioning, combined with Stormtech’s consistent same day shipping on blank orders, means that distributors can count on shorter delivery windows and faster service across the board. Whether fulfilling last-minute orders or responding to tight campaign deadlines, our Markham facility enables a level of responsiveness that helps our partners move at the speed of opportunity.

It’s a performance advantage built for the pace of modern business.

THE TEXAS ADVANTAGE Powering Stormtech’s Central U.S. Growth

In the booming industrial corridors of Dallas, Texas, a high-tech facility is quietly redefining how apparel brand Stormtech moves product across the United States. Located on Midpoint Drive, Lancaster, this industry leading distribution center has become a strategic anchor in Stormtech’s North American expansion, accelerating fulfillment and reshaping expectations around service speed and inventory availability. What began as an ambitious step into the U.S. logistics landscape has quickly matured into a core piece of the company’s operational backbone. Within just a year of its 2022 launch, the Dallas-area hub had surpassed internal benchmarks, becoming Stormtech’s largest distribution point in the U.S., and a critical conduit between the brand and its expanding network of distributor partners.

12 | STORMTECH MAGAZINE – FALL 2025

STORMTECHPERFORMANCE.COM

LOCATION AND LOGISTICS Stormtech’s decision to plant roots in North Texas was anything but incidental. The Dallas location combines geographic, economic, and logistical strengths that make it ideal for large scale order fulfillment. With its proximity to major freight corridors and a central location that places most U.S. cities within a few days’ reach, the region serves as a natural springboard for nationwide distribution. For Stormtech’s partners, the results are tangible: faster delivery times, more consistent stock availability, and better alignment with the fast-moving demands of today’s business clients. A FACILITY BUILT FOR THE FUTURE Beyond its location, the facility itself represents a significant investment in technology and sustainability. Designed to maximize vertical storage and natural light, the warehouse operates with a level of efficiency more often associated with leading-edge logistics firms than apparel brands. One standout feature is the use of drones to conduct daily inventory counts, an innovation that ensures real-time stock accuracy and minimizes the risk of fulfillment delays.

Equally important is the center’s environmental footprint. From energy-efficient lighting to workflow optimizations that reduce waste and emissions, the facility reflects a broader shift toward sustainable logistics, a priority that is increasingly resonating with distributors and consumers alike. MEETING THE MOMENT IN THE U.S. MARKET Stormtech’s timing could hardly have been better. As demand for the brand’s technical outerwear and performance apparel continues to grow in the U.S., the Dallas center provides a scalable solution to keep pace. Paired with supporting facilities in Vancouver and Toronto, the distribution network now enables consistent service across the continent, with the Dallas hub handling the lion’s share of U.S. orders. For distributors, the impact goes beyond operational. Access to a deeper range of stocked styles and faster turnaround translates directly into business agility, critical in a marketplace defined by shifting consumer preferences and seasonal surges.

STORMTECH MAGAZINE – FALL 2025 | 13

STORMTECHPERFORMANCE.COM

The Backbone of Stormtech’s U.S. Fulfillment The Dallas distribution center’s scale, efficiency, and technological edge have made it an essential part of Stormtech’s growth story, enabling faster service, deeper inventory access, and stronger partner support. As the demand for performance apparel continues to rise, this logistics hub is poised to meet the moment, delivering reliability and reach with every shipment. In a landscape where speed and precision are paramount, Stormtech’s Texas stronghold is built to lead.

Fast Access to Major Centers From its vantage point just south of Dallas, the Lancaster distribution center offers rapid access to a wide array of major U.S. city centers. Within a one- to two-day shipping window, Stormtech can reach key metropolitan markets including Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Phoenix, St. Louis, and even parts of the East Coast such as Charlotte and Nashville. This central positioning significantly compresses transit times, enabling distributor partners to respond quickly to client demands and streamline replenishment cycles, especially critical during seasonal peaks and promotional campaigns.

“Over 300 of our best-selling styles and will serve as our primary distribution center for the U.S.”

STORMTECH - The global leader in quality outdoor apparel and gear for the B2B and Promotional Products Industry. By partnering with the world’s leading distributors, we can fulfill an order virtually anywhere in the world within seven business days.

W hen Stormtech expanded into Europe on November 30, 2002, it marked more than just a geographical milestone, it was the beginning of a global journey. Since then, Stormtech has built a network of partners in over 50 countries, helping bring premium products to new markets. With further expansion into Asia planned for 2025 and 2026, Stormtech is poised to solidify its presence as a global leader in the promotional products space. As the demand for premium products continues to grow globally, Stormtech noticed a recurring request from customers in North America: Help us ship Stormtech products internationally. Many found navigating global orders and managing shipping logistics to be complex, time-consuming, and full of hurdles. Recognizing this need, Stormtech responded with the ‘International Fulfillment Program’, a solution designed to eliminate these challenges. One U.S. distributor put it best: “International fulfillment is our key differentiating strategy over the next five years.” So, we wanted to make it possible for our customers to easily and efficiently manage international orders on a global scale. Stormtech’s international partners play a crucial role in this success. These experts in Stormtech’s product offerings build the brand in their local regions while contributing to its worldwide growth. Their efforts, combined with the streamlined fulfillment program, make it easier than ever for businesses to manage complex global uniform or rewards initiatives. Whether fulfilling orders across multiple countries or supporting the growing demand for premium apparel, Stormtech is helping its customers unlock new opportunities and meet the challenges of an increasingly connected world.

Stormtech’s journey in the UK and Europe began in 2001, sparked by a rising demand for premium, quality gear in the promotional industry. With a solid reputation already growing in North America, Stormtech saw an opportunity to bring quality outdoor apparel and accessories to a new market, one that was ready for well-designed products built to last.

“It’s exciting to be part of a shift where quality and responsibility are truly leading the conversation in the UK and EU.” Europe, Stormtech is well-positioned to handle these orders quickly and reliably. “We can fulfill almost any European or International delivery a North American distributor requires quickly and efficiently without cutting corners,” Tom says. This global demand aligns with a broader shift across the UK and EU markets: the move away from disposable basics toward premium, purpose-driven apparel. Buyers are prioritizing longevity, comfort, and environmental responsibility. End users want something their team can be proud to wear, not just at work, but in everyday life. THE FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY Stormtech has built its business around those values. The company’s five-year warranty stands out in the branded apparel space, backed by quality construction, technical performance, and timeless design. Sustainability is a key focus as well, with ongoing investments in recycled fabrics, mono-material construction, and certifications like EcoVadis and Climate Smart. Looking ahead to Fall and Winter 2025, demand is expected to grow for products that offer reliable weather protection and a polished, modern look. Customers are seeking gear that performs outdoors while still looking sharp in a client meeting. “It’s exciting to be part of a shift where quality and responsibility are truly leading the conversation in the UK and EU,” Tom says. And with more U.S. and Canadian partners turning to Stormtech to serve those markets, the opportunity is only getting bigger. Tom Kroc Senior Director of International Sales

A growing number of U.S. and Canadian distributors are looking across the Atlantic, and they’re turning to Stormtech to help make it happen. As global companies seek consistency across regions, demand has surged for premium, sustainable products that can be delivered seamlessly in both North America and Europe. “We’ve seen a significant increase in North American distributors reaching out to help fulfill orders for their clients shipping into the UK and Europe,” says Tom Kroc, Director of International Sales at Stormtech. “These brands don’t want to compromise. If their North American team is wearing Stormtech, they want their offices in Berlin or Manchester wearing the exact same jackets and polo shirts.” It’s a trend that keeps gaining momentum. Large end users are pushing for unified global apparel programs that reflect their identity, not just in a logo, but in the quality, sustainability, and performance of the gear itself. More and more, North American distributors are relying on Stormtech’s infrastructure in Europe to deliver that level of consistency. NORTH AMERICAN DISTRIBUTORS GO GLOBAL

Exploring New Terrain LATIN AMERICA

S ince entering the Latin American market in early 2020, Stormtech has steadily built a name for itself as a go-to brand for premium technical apparel. For Benson Leigh, who leads Stormtech’s efforts across the region, the demand has never been clearer. Companies in Latin America are ready for more. GROWING DEMAND FOR PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS “We’re seeing both large global corporations and fast growing local businesses looking for higher quality,” says Leigh. “People looking for premium gear haven’t had many options - just locally made custom goods, or retail brands with limited stock and selection. That’s why Stormtech stands out. With technical construction, modern design, and a five-year warranty, we deliver the quality they’ve been waiting for”. Mexico and Argentina are leading the charge. In both markets, Stormtech has quickly positioned itself as a trusted premium brand. In Mexico, the team supports both distributor and end-client sales. In Argentina, operations are now shifting from a direct-to-client model to a distributor-focused strategy, with new partnerships launching mid 2025. A key moment in the brand’s momentum comes every year at ExpoPublicitas, Mexico City’s largest promotional products event. “The interest grows every time,” Leigh explains. “In our first year, we were introducing the brand. Now people are walking straight up to our booth saying they’ve heard about us and want to see what’s new. That’s when you know something is working.”

“Meetings here don’t always feel like meetings. You’ll spend an hour talking shop, then two more over lunch, getting to know the person behind the business. That connection matters.”

UNIQUELY LATIN AMERICAN

ExpoPublicitas in Mexico City has helped fuel visibility. Each year, interest grows. “In the beginning, we had to introduce ourselves. Now, people come straight to the booth because they’ve heard about us. That momentum is real.” Beyond the logistics and growth curves, Leigh says it’s the people and energy of the region that keep him inspired. “Meetings here don’t always feel like meetings. You’ll spend an hour talking shop, then two more over lunch, getting to know the person behind the business. That connection matters. And it’s part of why we’re so committed to getting this right.” With the premium market accelerating and sustainability becoming more important to buyers, Stormtech is positioned to lead. The path forward is clear. Go deeper in Mexico and Argentina, build smart in emerging markets, and stay relentlessly focused on quality, service, and trust. “People here want better,” Leigh says. “We’re here to deliver it.” RELATIONSHIPS MATTER

Across the region, lightweight jackets and moisture-wicking polos have become bestsellers, particularly with clients in agriculture, mining, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and automotive. Markets like Peru, Chile, Uruguay, and the Dominican Republic are also gaining traction thanks to industry-specific demand. Outside the region, a new growth channel is emerging. More and more North American clients are approaching Stormtech to help streamline their apparel programs across Latin America. Many of these companies have large offices in Mexico, Argentina, and other countries, but until now, consistency has been hard to achieve. “Historically, they haven’t been able to get the same product into Latin America that they use in the US or Canada,” says Leigh. “We solve that through our network of partners and wholesalers across the region. It’s the same product, same quality, same branding, no matter where their teams are.” Stormtech’s presence at events like
