GANT

Gant
Gant is a lifestyle brand, with an American sportswear heritage, offering modern high quality casual wear with a European touch.

The company's values are based on its authentic American East Coast heritage, dating back to the launch of the brand in 1949. Since then the brand has been further developed and is now a truly global brand. Gant offers full ranges of clothing for men, women, and children. In addition Gant branded watches, footwear, eyewear, fragrances and home furnishings are designed and marketed by licensees.

Gant's history began when Bernard Gant started making shirts in New Haven, Connecticut. He quickly turned his passion for quality and design into the business of making casual sportswear. His sons, Marty and Elliot, later joined the company and maintained their father's dedication to garment craftsmanship and attention to detail.

In 1999 Sweden-based Gant AB (at the time named Pyramid Sportswear) acquired the Gant brand from Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation. Back in 1980 Pyramid Sportswear had been given the rights to design a collection branded Gant for the Swedish market. Pyramid Sportswear was subsequently given the rights to market Gant worldwide, excluding the US market. When the Gant USA business was acquired in 1999, the new owners of the Gant brand finally had the opportunity to turn Gant into a global brand. In 2006 Gant was quoted on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, and in March 2008 Gant was delisted and bought by Maus Frres a private Swiss company.

Gant has a history of strong international growth, and is today established in over 70 countries through more than 380 Gant stores and a large number of selected premium retailers.
