Gildan

Gildan is a Canadian brand founded in 1984 in Montreal, when brothers Greg and Glenn Chamandy acquired a knitting mill to produce fabric for the family's children's clothing business. What began as a modest textile manufacturer quickly evolved into one of the world's largest and most respected producers of promotional apparel, with more than 50,000 employees and facilities spanning 12 countries across four continents.

Today, Gildan covers an exceptionally wide product range: T-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, jackets, vests, leggings, activewear, performance wear, socks, and underwear – for men, women, and children, available in over 150 colors and a broad range of sizes. All products are designed primarily for professional printing and branding, making them an ideal choice for promotional textiles, workwear uniforms, sports equipment, corporate gifts, and mass-market promotion at events and trade fairs. They are particularly valued for their high stitch density and smooth fabric surface, which delivers outstanding results for screen printing, digital printing, and embroidery.

Gildan is a pioneer of vertical integration in the textile industry – controlling the entire process from yarn-spinning to finished product distribution – which enables consistent quality, competitive pricing, and fast delivery. The brand has received multiple awards for environmental and labor responsibility: it has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index eleven consecutive times, while certifications such as Oeko-Tex 100 and Fair Labor Association accreditation guarantee ethical and environmentally responsible manufacturing practices. Gildan – value that shows in every stitch.
