Uni-Sport - Company Profile (A)
Publicly available Information on Uni-Sport was very scarce and there were only a limited number of sources found on this company. The sources that were available, including its official website did not contain in-depth information on the current operations (such as investments and partnerships) of the company. Based on the available information, it was found that Uni-Sport is a privately held company located in California with an estimated revenue between $1.7-5.4 million. The company provides heat applied graphics for athletic wear for Major League soccer equipment managers, manufacturers, and retailers.
Revenue
- Since Uni-Sport is a privately held company, there were no annual reports available on its exact revenue figures. Hence, we had to expand our search to third-party company databases. According to Zoominfo, Uni-Sport has a revenue of $5.4 million while Owler shows a revenue of $1.7 million.
- Since this range of reported revenue from the two sources ($1.7-$5.4 million) is significant, we searched through other databases such as Glassdoor, Hoovers, and Craft for further comparison. However, Uni-Sport company profiles were not found in any of these sources. The company also does not have a LinkedIn profile.
