Canada Goose Buys Second Toronto Area Factory
Canada Goose has acquired a second factory in the Toronto area in a move the down outerwear company says will increase efficiency by 25 percent. Grand Harbour Clothing, which has been a contract manufacturer for Canada Goose, will focus on the brand’s lightweight HyBridge Lite collection.
“From Asia to Europe to North America, we’re excited by the continued growing demand for Canada Goose products around the world,” said Canada Goose CEO Dani Reiss in a statement. “I’m proud to be leading the charge in rebuilding apparel manufacturing infrastructure; this is an important investment that not only expands our footprint, but significantly increases productivity by transforming a great factory into a world-class manufacturing campus through innovative technologies and processes.”
Grand Harbour owner James Tang, who will continue to oversee production, added, “Working with Canada Goose over the last three years, I’ve seen first-hand the company’s commitment to producing the best and warmest jackets in the world. I’m excited and proud that our employees will continue to be a part of the company’s future.”
The 45,000 sq. ft. Grand Harbour Clothing facility in Scarborough, Ontario employs 70 people.
