TFT specializes in the direct sales of embroidered logo apparel and other promotional items, contract embroidery services, online company store management and order fulfillment. Both firms are located in Chesterfield, MO.

The TFT purchase will enable Graphic Connections Group (GCG) to expand its offering of in-house ad specialties and embroidered items.

It should become a substantial profit center as we continue to grow the company."
