Meet Brent Kappes | Owner at Bamtech

We had the good fortune of connecting with Brent Kappes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brent, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The decision to start my own business was driven by a strong desire to create something meaningful and impactful. I wanted to address the challenges I had personally faced and provide innovative solutions. Starting Bamtech was a natural progression from my own experiences, particularly during my time serving in the Navy.

Throughout my military service, I encountered various struggles, including discomfort and issues like athlete’s foot. I realized there had to be a better way to address these problems and improve the quality of performance wear. That’s when the vision for Bamtech began to take shape.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Bamtech is a unique brand that sets itself apart by combining the natural properties of bamboo with lifestyle apparel made in the USA. We take great pride in being the only brand in the world to offer this innovative combination. Our commitment to sustainability, quality craftsmanship, and functional design sets us apart in the active wear space.

While the journey hasn’t been easy, we’ve remained resilient and focused on our vision. We’ve learned valuable lessons along the way, including the importance of thorough product testing and maintaining our high standards. We’re excited about the future as we continue to expand our reach and bring our simple, handcrafted designs to more individuals seeking functional and comfortable apparel. Our goal is to make a positive impact in the industry and provide Americans with apparel that embodies both style and sustainability.
