The fabric used to manufacture our products is sourced by our manufacturers from suppliers pre-approved by us.

Out sourcing , offshoring

Under Armour’s raw materials are produced in the same places that intermediate manufacturing and assembly take place. One half of Under Armour products come from Asia and one fourth come from Mexico with

the remaining fourth coming from other Central American countries. When the materials are produced, and the products are manufactured and

assembled ,

the company has outsourced its manufacturing and production it can be said to be vertically integrated because it has combined stages of

production to gain more control of its inputs and its outputs to gain more control of its supply systems in order to produce better merchandise and

satisfy customers

The development of the raw materials, manufacturing and assembling are all offshored in order to cut costs. Since these operations are completed in Asia

and Central America, its is possible to find cheaper labor and cheaper overhead for the factories there. This is beneficial for the company however

by offshoring these early operations the company does lose some control over the quality and the production of products.

SIMPLE SUPLLY CHAIN

DECENTRALIZED PURCHASE

The company obviously tries to compete at a global level which can be seen by their international offices in China, Indonesia and Canada. Although Under Armour has

offices in these locations the fact that their main distribution center is in the U.S.

reflects that this is their primary source of business and sales. This suggests that the

emphasis of the company’s corporate strategy is sales in the United States.

Logistics (shipping)

Under Armour is partnered with Federal Express, including SmartPost. SmartPost is a service that’s

first initiated by FedEx, but the final delivery is the responsibility of your local US Postal Service.

Ultimately, your shipping carrier is based on your location. This guarantees your gear arrives when

you expect it.

We mostly ship from Under Armour’s hometown of Baltimore, MD. Under certain circumstances, we also may ship from California to ensure you get

your gear on time.
