"Uth Stuph and Stuph Clothing met our investment profile because each are recognized brands in the industry, Uth Stuph has a nationally diverse footprint and there was an experienced management team in place for ongoing continuity.
"On a personal level, we're thrilled to be working in the faith-based arena and look forward to continuing and improving upon what Uth Stuph has been known for since 1996--providing ministry leaders with
innovative graphical designs which not only communicate group identity, but more importantly encourage young people through printed and embroidered apparel."
