The Gildan story
Gildan is an apparel brand in Gildan Activewear’s portfolio; the company’s headquarters are in Montréal, Québec. The company’s official FAQs report its founding in 1984 and describe it as Canadian. They place most company operations and factories in Central America, the Caribbean, the United States and Bangladesh. These corporate facts do not establish a separate brand founding date, Canadian manufacture or ultimate Canadian ownership. Wholesale products are sold through an international distributor network.
