 PROFILE
On casual-dress day, Gildan Activewear has you covered. The company makes blank cotton and cotton/polyester T-shirts, tank tops, sweatshirts, and golf shirts for private-label use. Gildan produces some of its merchandise in Canada, Central America, the Caribbean, and the US, and gets the rest from contractors in the Caribbean and Mexico. Steadily gaining market share (while ailing competitor Fruit of the Loom loses it), Gildan sells its products mainly to North American wholesale distributors, screenprinters, and embroiderers; it is expanding into Europe. Brothers Greg (chairman and CEO) and Glenn (president and COO) Chamandy, who co-founded Gildan in 1984, control about 62% of the company's voting power.
