On June 29, it opened its first factory in Québec. The company said this facility, its fifth factory overall, has already created 125 jobs, and it is expected to generate a further 325 positions by the end of 2018. The factory will focus on manufacturing some of the brand’s most popular styles from its various seasonal collections.
It also announced that it will build a new raw material and cutting distribution centre in Ontario. This is intended to increase efficiency and production capacity.
The company revealed that this expansion is the latest step in its commitment to “aggressively invest in the rebuilding of the Canadian manufacturing industry”. It said it has increased the number of cut and sew workers it employs in the country by more than 200% in the last five years.
