Standard Textile Expands Distribution Network in Caribbean and Latin America with A Plus and PH Interamericas

CINCINNATI, Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Textile Co., Inc., a global leader in healthcare and hospitality textiles, today announced the expansion of its distribution network in the CALA (Caribbean and Latin America) region through two new strategic partnerships with A Plus (also known as Central de Uniformes) and PH Interamericas. This expansion strengthens Standard Textile's presence in the region and reinforces its ability to support hotels and resorts across all tiers with high-performance textile solutions, local service, and operational expertise.

PH Interamericas will oversee distribution across Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. A Plus will manage distribution in Panama and Chile, with the potential to expand into additional territories in the future. Together, these partners bring deep regional expertise and strong customer relationships that will enhance Standard Textile's ability to deliver innovative textile solutions with speed, consistency and local support across CALA.

Standard Textile's hospitality portfolio includes a comprehensive range of bed and bath linens engineered specifically for hospitality environments. With over 150 patents, hospitality products are engineered to enhance the guest experience while reducing operational costs. It most recently re-engineered a terry collection specifically for the CALA region. The Capitol Collection for CALA, woven and finished in the USA, utilizes a patented weaving technology that provides substantial operational savings.

"Expanding our distributor network in CALA ensures that we're meeting our customers where they are — with the right products, localized service, and dedicated support," said Gary Heiman, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Standard Textile. "As the hospitality landscape evolves in the region, especially in the luxury segment, it's critical that we have strong partners on the ground. A Plus and PH Interamericas share our values and commitment to excellence."
