Equity Firm
Founded in 1993 in Vancouver, BC, No Limits Group employs over 100 people and operates three business lines including: 1) Saxx Underwear Co, an innovative men's underwear brand whose patented design is centered on an ergonomic side panel technology; 2) A52 Warehouse, a third party warehouse service provider; and 3) No Limits Sportswear, an apparel distributor focused on Active Outdoor and Lifestyle Fashion brands.
Under the leadership of CEO Tim Bartels, Saxx's mission is to revolutionize the core staple of every wardrobe. Saxx has grown into an industry leader, but from day one, has built innovative, design-driven gear, which has helped the company develop a loyal following across North America. And for good reason: Saxx makes the most comfortable underwear out there, and is what they look forward to doing every day. Every pair of Saxx features a combination of technology and innovation that makes them the most comfortable, high-performance underwear ever made. The Articulated Front Pouch and Patented Internal Mesh Panels combined to give wearers the room they need, while preventing unwanted friction. Each pair also features a Moisture Wicking Waistband that keeps the wearer dry when the temperature rises. Lastly, Saxx uses a wide range of cutting edge, technical fabrics, each with a specific feature to enhance the wearing experience.
No Limits started as a distributor working with lifestyle and action sports brands, partnering with a growing network of premium retailers based on their ability to successfully grow client brands and accurately represent their culture and value. Over the last 20+ years, No Limits has built on their distribution model to be an extended operational partner of the brands they work with. This partnership lets brand owners focus on driving their business while No Limits tailors their service to meet client needs. The goal at No Limits is to help great brands deliver premium products to aligned retail partners and end consumers with their accomplished team as the catalyst. While Canadian distribution remains a core service, No Limits has the ability to be an investment and operational partner providing brands with a scalable operational infrastructure as well as the confidence and time to drive the brand's growth levers.
