About S3A -

We are a global network of ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers), distributors and local dealers serving the North American sports industry. Our objective is to streamline the supply chain through single-source market solutions and promote product innovation by engaging buyers through digital platforms, online communities, and collaborative design groups.

New Products

At the forefront of our business model is innovation. We prioritize the collection of reviews/suggestions from consumers at all levels of the market so that we can help you, the supplier, build better products. Whether you are a factory that sells directly to the market, a small brand or distributor, or a retailer looking to launch their own line, our team is passionate about creating original concepts that will be used by athletes.

Working in a variety of markets over the years has taught us how to leverage our collective experience into finding the right solution for our customers.

Our service includes a full range of branding options, from adding logos to inventory items to special-request orders at our manufacturing facilities.

Founded in Canada, we are a group of product specialists across North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim.

With our commitment to product development, single-source markets and buyer-direct communication, our manufacturers are expanding their customer base, buyers are designing their own product lines and all parties are seamlessly communicating critical specs throughout the supply chain.
