Augusta Sportswear, Inc., also known as Momentec Brands, located in Sidney, Ohio, will permanently close its distribution center on January 30, 2026.

The company said the decision to close is part of a bigger strategic consolidation effort to centralize operations into a new facility in North Carolina. The closure is the direct result of financial and operational issues, including industry-wide impacts such as softer demand and rising costs.
The company said, “We believe this transaction will improve service levels and reduce costs, positioning Momentec for long-term sustainability.”
Momentec said all employees will be offered severance packages. It was also noted that one employee will be offered relocation to North Carolina, and a small number of roles may be transitioned to remote work.
