A Utah company that only a year ago said it was hoping to help lead a rebirth of the American clothing manufacturing industry is out of business.
SanSegal Sportswear, a 35-year-old Sandy-based enterprise that made branded products for the Sundance Film Festival and other noteworthy customers that included the Smithsonian Institution and U.S. national parks, closed its doors late last week.
Like many companies, SanSegal — which generated most of its revenue printing, silk screening and decorating T-shirts and other apparel for destination resorts and others in the tourism industry — was hard hit by the Great Recession.
A year ago, though, Rudick maintained that the company had turned the corner and was growing once again.
Nick Duerksen, economic development director for Sandy, said he talked with a company representative Thursday and was told SanSegal had closed "for business reasons." Salt Lake Tribune
