About the Company

Gildan

Manufactures basic apparel via vertical integration

Gildan is a global manufacturer of basic apparel, focusing on undecorated blank t-shirts and related basics. Its products are produced through a vertically integrated model, controlling production from spinning yarn to sewing the final garment, with offshore sewing facilities to manage costs and quality. This allows Gildan to supply wholesale markets with high-volume, low-cost basic apparel such as 100% cotton tees, often used for screen printing and branding. The company has grown through strategic acquisitions like Anvil Knitwear and American Apparel to broaden its product lines and market reach, while maintaining a focus on scale and efficiency. Compared with competitors, Gildan emphasizes end-to-end control of manufacturing and cost leadership to offer affordable basics globally. Its goal is to be the world’s low-cost producer of high-quality basic apparel.
