OUR STORY
A+ School Apparel is a privately held business whose roots date all the way back to 1893. We quickly became one of the leading apparel manufacturers, conquering the American school uniform market with superior quality, outstanding service, consistency, and in-depth inventory. "Our vision is to provide unsurpassed quality, service, and value to our customers at competitive prices."
A+ continually strives to develop, implement and enhance our technologies and infrastructure pursuant to the needs of our customers and the end-users. Whether it’s our state-of-the-art operating systems and business-to-business (B2B) information technologies, to friendly and knowledgeable A+ representatives, to helpful drop-ship offerings, to the most comfortable, durable, and fashionable products, we’ve got it.
A+ is more than just a name; it’s a promise we take seriously. A+ School Apparel, headquartered in Burlingame, California with manufacturing and distribution in Star City, Arkansas, keeps the workplace looking good and feeling great. A+ is a one-stop-shop for school, career, postal, and custom uniforms. We maintain our lead as the premier manufacturer because of our attention to detail and unwavering customer support. The A+ people, along with the love and care we build into every single product and partnership, is why A+ is simply the best.
Philanthropy
For over 45 years A+ School Apparel has been building stronger communities nationwide. Not only do we participate in philanthropic and volunteer events and organizations, we encourage our employees to do the same. Additional time, money, and energy are directed to smaller and larger non-profit organizations. We are honored and happy to contribute. We also have a deep love for our global community of peers and partners, and we actively contribute to many worthwhile causes including No Kid Hungry, various cancer, heart, special needs and veteran organizations, environmental and wildlife agencies, and SPCA. Just to name a few.
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Working Conditions - Code of Conduct
We’re fiercely loyal. That’s why we will not give up our U.S.-based manufacturing and fulfillment facility in Star City, Arkansas. While others may only be driven by bottom-line profits, we continue to invest in American jobs and the American economy. We love people, and our 200+ domestic employees are an integral part of the A+ Family. Domestic production provides us with a competitive advantage when it comes to customization and the ability to quickly fill products and inventories. Our social responsibility to the working conditions of our employees, whether in the U.S. or off-shore, never wavers. We are concerned about human dignity and have gone to great lengths to promote the well-being of our workers, worldwide.
