Deckers Outdoor Corp. said it will move Irvine-based sandal maker Sanuk USA LLC to Deckers’ headquarters in Goleta to help “streamline brand operations and reduce infrastructure costs.”
Sanuk has 45 employees and leases a 48,000-square-foot building.
Deckers bought it in 2011 for $120 million from founder Jeff Kelley.
Sanuk’s revenue for the third quarter of its fiscal year 2016 decreased 17% to $17 million compared to $20.5 million during the same period last year.
The drop was driven by a decline in global wholesale sales and was partially offset by an increase in direct-to-consumer sales.
