GAC launches workwear line for the maritime industry

In partnership with Kwintet Fristads, GAC Workwear brings enhanced safety and style to uniforms, gear and accessories

15 April 2009 - GAC has joined forces with leading global clothing manufacturer Kwintet Fristads to form GAC Workwear, providing a full range of cost effective, customised maritime workwear with maximum comfort, functionality and safety.

Offered under the GAC Solutions umbrella, GAC Workwear combines GAC's knowledge of the challenging conditions faced by seafaring personnel in the maritime industry with Kwintet Fristads' market leading position in product innovation to deliver a complete work apparel solution from design to manufacturing and distribution. Worldwide door-to-door distribution is also available and handled by GAC Marine Logistics Inc.

GAC Workwear's product range of garments, footwear and many other protective accessories is well suited for any climate, from tropical to artic.

Group Vice President for GAC Solutions Christer Sjödoff believes there is significant demand for quality workwear in the maritime industry despite the global economic downturn.

"Customers looking for cost efficiency and safety when clothing their employees will appreciate the durability and quality of GAC Workwear - thanks to Fristads' commitment to rigorous laboratory tests in abrasion resistance, tear and tensile strength and shrinkage.

"Twice the wear is half the price", he adds, referring to the fact that the workwear can last for years despite frequent washes.

The majority of GAC Workwear products are safety assured, and it is guaranteed that no substances hazardous to health are used in the manufacture of different parts of the garments.
