- Gildan Activewear Inc is a global manufacturer and marketer of branded basic apparel, specializing in activewear, casual wear, socks, underwear, and hosiery. Its core product portfolio includes well-known brands such as Gildan®, American Apparel®, Comfort Colors®, GOLDTOE®, and Peds®, offering a wide range of T-shirts, fleece, sport shirts, socks, underwear, and other apparel products primarily for the North American and international markets. The company operates a vertically integrated business model with manufacturing facilities across the Americas to maintain efficiency and control throughout its supply chain. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Montreal, Canada, Gildan serves various market segments including retail, wholesale, and promotional products. In 2025, Gildan announced a major strategic acquisition of HanesBrands Inc., a leading intimate apparel company with iconic brands such as Hanes, Bonds, Maidenform, and Bali. This merger, valued at approximately $4.4 billion, is expected to close in late 2025 or early 2026 and aims to create a global leader in basic apparel by combining Gildan’s strength in activewear with HanesBrands’ retail innerwear presence. The acquisition significantly expands Gildan’s product offerings, geographic reach, and market scale while leveraging synergies from its low-cost vertically integrated manufacturing platform. The company also introduced new product innovations in 2025, including Soft Cotton Technology, and maintained robust sales growth in activewear, reflecting its ongoing focus on capacity expansion, innovation, and sustainability. Gildan actively pursues sustainability initiatives with commitments to reduce water usage, increase recycled materials in products, and produce carbon-neutral apparel lines. Its recent financial performance demonstrates record revenues and earnings per share, driven by growth in activewear and strategic market expansions. The company continues to emphasize operational discipline, competitive positioning, and ESG principles in its growth strategy, aiming to deliver long-term shareholder value through its global basic apparel leadership and enhanced product portfolio after the HanesBrands acquisition.
