Gildan has made significant capital investments in new state-of-the-art production capacity in Honduras and the Dominican Republic, where the Company is committed to operate its offshore manufacturing operations in accordance with the highest standards of social responsibility.
In addition to the restructuring of its manufacturing operations, Gildan has also announced that it will close its Canadian distribution centre in Montreal at the end of October 2006.
Distribution operations in Canada will be handled by a third party logistics partner, in order to provide greater flexibility in meeting the needs of Gildan's wholesale distributors and retail customers in Canada.
Six employees will be affected by the closure of the Montreal distribution centre.
