The Australian activewear brand Stax entered liquidation in June 2026, placing approximately 160 jobs at risk after its lender, NAB, appointed receivers to recover $6.7 million in debts. 

In August 2026, the brand was acquired in a rescue deal by a private investor group led by Justin Truong and Sandy Li-Truong, the founders of the online marketplace Pushas. The new majority owners intend to rebuild the brand's foundation and relaunch its operations following a period of website inactivity.
