Making apparel better

Gildan is one of the world’s leaders in apparel manufacturing, with a diversified portfolio of company-owned brands, like renowned Gildan, American Apparel, and Comfort Colors. With more than three decades of developing manufacturing expertise, Gildan is now known as one of the world’s most efficient, ethical, and sustainable apparel manufacturers out there.

Gildan was founded on the belief that owning our factories and controlling every step in the process was the best way to make great apparel.

In fact, more than 90% of Gildan’s revenues are generated from products manufactured in-house. How? Gildan has developed a comprehensive manufacturing infrastructure from spinning cotton into yarn, to textile production, sewing and distribution. Its vertical integration and scale allow Gildan to drive efficient production and consistent high product quality while manufacturing responsibly. This, combined with a high level of visibility and control over the production process, is rare in the apparel industry and sets Gildan apart from other players.

Sustainable and ethical apparel

So much goes into Gildan’s products beyond cloth and dye — its beliefs, its values and its drive to make apparel better. Gildan is committed to being sustainable, ethical and transparent about its practice, because while it fabricates many products, Gildan never fabricates the truth behind how they’re made.

Quality. Price. Impact. ​All in equal measure.​

• Gildan has been recognised with several awards for its sustainability efforts. It is one of only three apparel companies on the Wall Street Journal Top 100 Most Sustainably Managed Companies and it has made the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for eight years running.
• Gildan sources its fibres responsibly and sustainably.
• Gildan is a leading innovator in energy and water efficiency, developing technologies to reduce our impact on the planet.

Caring for people   

Gildan’s people first, and foremost.

• Because Gildan owns and operates its own factories, it is able to offer all employees fair wages and empowering and safe workplaces.
• Gildan also offers competitive benefits like subsidised meals, free transportation, and has free on-site medical clinics for its people

Creating stronger communities

What Gildan makes matters as much as where it is made.

• Gildan creates economic development opportunities in the regions it operates.
• Gildan invests in local organisations and projects to help its communities prosper.
