Factory and Technology

Made In-House

From the sales to the production and everything in between, the Hincapie business stays in the family. So while other companies may outsource each piece of your apparel to manufacturers all over the world, your Hincapie kit is made in one factory owned by one family. This means quality control for us, and high-quality kits for you.

Why We Do Everything In-House

Hincapie Family

Family Run

When your family runs the business, it’s not about the money. It’s about teaching family values, about loyalty and honesty, hard work and determination. About keeping the family name intact.
