Since 2006
The plant behind
4,000+ print brands.
Expomax is a wholesale manufacturer, not a marketplace. We print, sew, fabricate and ship from one 68,000 sq ft facility in Ontario, California — so resellers get factory lead times without owning the factory.

Our story
Built to make resellers look bigger.
We started in 2006 printing flags for car dealerships. Print brokers kept asking whether we could also handle banners, then booth backwalls, then fabricated signs — and whether we would ship without our name on the box. We said yes to all three.
Today Expomax runs four production lines under one roof with a single freight bill. No account minimums, no setup fees and no requirement to carry inventory. You sell the job; we build it and ship it under your label.

Milestones
Twenty years of adding capacity.
Every expansion came from a customer request we could not say no to. The plant has grown from two sewing machines to four production lines without adding a distributor layer.

How we operate
Three things we will not compromise
Reseller-first by design
Pricing is invisible to retail, packing slips carry your brand and our reps never call your client.
A human on every proof
Automation handles the file check; a production specialist signs off before anything hits press.
Lower-impact materials
Recycled PET fabrics, water-based inks and FSC-certified packaging available on request.
