4. Company History
Was formed in 1984 by brothers H.Greg and Glenn Chamandy in Montreal.
With the arrival of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) the Chamandys reformed the family business by focusing more on selling t-shirts and sweatshirts.
Later on, outsourced sewing to Central American factories and retained the control-end of the business knitting, dyeing, and finishing.
Garments were sold wholesale, starting in 1992, in large quantities and shipped to North American clients via UPS.

Many analysts and banks including Canaccord Genuity, and National Bank Financial list stock as a buy, and will Outperform target

8. Current news continued
Low wages and advanced technology has allowed Gildan to lower its price per shirt to below that of Chinese manufacturers, making them a more desirable supplier, and boosting Canadian economy
Products mainly come from China, Haiti, Honduras and Bangladesh; factories in Haiti have poor human rights and environmental issues, but labour rights, unions, and environmental actions like “Biotop” will counter these issues, and prevent the stock from becoming unstable
