COMPANY:

Papi Inc. (USA)

HISTORY:

James Sonzero, a Los Angeles television commercial producer, started Papi men's underwear in 1995 with about $100,000. "Papi" is Spanish slang for daddy and a term of endearment. He created Papi as he felt there was a need for a Latin-identified product."

Papi debuted at a 1995 boutique trade show in New York and despite opening during a snow store, Papi racked up $20,000 in new orders in two days.

In 2004, Miami Lakes-based Isaco International acquired Papi. Isaco International is a leading manufacturer of underwear, sleepwear, ties, and hosiery, most notably for the brands Perry Ellis (acting as a licensee of Perry Ellis International), Ike Behar and Equipo.
