Canada Goose has acquired a Canadian manufacturing facility that specializes in down manufacturing and the production of high-end garments for a number of other outdoor brands.
Engineered Apparel, which is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, has been a Canada Goose contractor for more than five years and has been operating for 15 years. Toronto, Ontario-based Canada Goose will add 120 employees through the deal.
The deal was positioned by Canada Goose as a reflection of their commitment to its 'Made in Canada' philosophy. In a release, the company said the expansion will not only increase the company's capacity, but will also allow for more control over the supply chain and increased efficiency.
