One of only three billion-dollar suppliers, S&S rises a spot on this year’s list as revenue is estimated to have accelerated past the $2 billion mark. The Illinois-headquartered apparel powerhouse drove growth, in part, by capitalizing on increased demand. High-profile acquisitions – TSC Apparel in November 2021 and TSF Sportswear in April 2022 – also fueled sales. Related to those moves was the fact that S&S was able to expand its network and customer reach in the Midwest and Southeast.
In November last year, then company President Frank Myers earned a promotion to CEO, as Counselor 2022 Person of the Year and former CEO Jim Shannon became vice chairman of S&S’s board of directors.
