Anthony Mazzenga founded Anrotex Inc., a Fabrics Company in 1981.  Nine years later, Anthony saw an opportunity in the Performance Underwear Market, so he combined his innovative Fabrics Company with a Performance Garment Manufacturer, to form Wickers Sportswear, Inc. in 1990.  Additionally, he also founded Wickers Europe to market Performance Underwear Garments in the UK in 1998 and Anthony started his On-Line Store, Wickers.com in 2000.

Since its inception, Wickers has been a leader in the Development and Introduction of Performance Fabric Technology.  Wickers Pioneering Development of its Proprietary Akwatek Fabric established a new standard by which all other Wicking Technology Fabrics were Judged. The fabric has been tested by independent agencies and found to have capabilities Superior to that of standard "Wicking" Fabrics for Thermoregulation in Performance Sports Apparel.

The combination of Superior Fabric Technology with garment manufacturing allowed Wickers to build a Business Supplying the Major Outdoor Retail Chains and Catalog Companies.  The list of Wickers’ Customers read like a Who's Who of the Outdoor Industry: L.L. Bean, Lands End, Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI), Cabela's, Eddie Bauer, Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) and Bass Pro Shops to name a few.

From the very beginning, Wickers has maintained a Firm Commitment to American Sourcing and Labor.  All Wickers garments are Made in the United States of America, because Wickers believes they have a responsibility to Keep American Workers working.  So, a Solid Manufacturing Base makes for a Stronger America.  Wickers is Firmly Committed to Keeping our Manufacturing right here in the USA where we can Best Serve our Customers!

The feeling has always been that the best way to deliver quality products and services was to stay as close as possible to our customers. To accomplish this level of service Wickers established an American based supply chain for its Yarn, Fiber, Knitting, Dyeing, and Apparel Manufacturing.  This strategy is also beneficial to Wickers Customers as it has shortened the lead time between Order Placement and Delivery, allowing its customers to stock only those items, sizes and colors which are selling. Such practices also help to reduce end-of-the-year inventories.

"All of the efforts that we put forth to ensure Quality Products and Excellent Customer Service are not done to Impress Anyone.  We simply believe Fostering Partnerships and Providing Quality Products to the Ultimate Consumer is the Right Way to do Business."

We make Quality Products, at the Right Place, at the Right Time and at the Right Price.
