Els fundadors som 3 germans molt implicats en el món esportiu. La nostra família venia del món tèxtil i vàrem pensar que seria una molt bona oportunitat poder seguir.

Oferim tot tipus de peça esportiva per clubs o col.lectius esportius, des d’una samarreta a un xandall esportiu o bé fins i tot merxandatge promocional. La nostra tècnica principal és la sublimació. també és molt important el temps de producció, i com a fabricants a dia d'avui tenim la capacitat de baixar els temps d'entrega de la competència.

Treballem amb teixits reciclats i orgànics des dels nostres inicis. La gran majoria de teixit que utilitzem és fabricat a Catalunya i totes les tintes que fem servir són amb base aigua.

utilitzem una tècnica nova actual anomenada DTF que ajuda a fer estampacions específiques en la personalització com noms, números, escuts...etc (substitueix el vinil i aconseguim un millor resultat i una gran durabilitat)

 a llarg termini volem aconseguir que la nostra marca agafi notorietat i que sigui reconeguda. Creiem que treballar amb algun club d'elit seria un gran pas que ens ajudaria situar la marca .

Esperem que (INDESCAT) ens porti a conèixer les tendències del sector de l'esport i estar al corrent de tot el que comporta el món de l'esport. (A INDESCAT) podem trobar oportunitats on a dia d'avui no en tenim i que en un futur ens podrien anar bé.
