WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

E-Z Connection began in 2009 with a focus on bringing products needed for every day wear at low prices and good quality. Initially, our Company only marketed local brands and sold them to local buyers who were mainly screen printers and retailers. However, in recent years, we have started manufacturing our own line of goods and have sold them to local wholesalers and institutional facilities in stores and online.

We now have two broad market segments:
