Dhaka, Bangladesh – Gildan Canada, a leading apparel manufacturer, is driving economic growth and job creation in Bangladesh as part of its expanding global network. Since establishing its first facility in 2010, Gildan has grown its presence to include three factories and a distribution hub, employing over 9,000 Bangladeshis. The company’s Dhaka office now serves as a vital component of its operations, connecting Bangladesh to its broader network, including Canada.
ADM Weldon Epp, a senior Canadian official, recently visited Gildan’s facilities to explore the company’s significant investments and discuss opportunities to further enhance Canada-Bangladesh economic ties. The visit highlighted Canada’s commitment to fostering sustainable and inclusive trade, creating high-quality jobs, and strengthening communities in both nations.
Gildan’s expansion in Bangladesh underscores the potential for purposeful investment to drive economic development while promoting cross-border partnerships. As Canada deepens its engagement in the Indo-Pacific region, Gildan’s success serves as a model for building business and community resilience through trade.
