According to Randa, revenues for the combined companies will be greater than US$1bn this year.
Haggar created the first ready-to-wear, finished bottom, pre-cuffed pant in 1938, and in 1980 began production of sport coats, vests, and custom fit suits. Today, the company has more than 80 branded brick-and-mortar retail locations, a dedicated direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform, and its products are sold in over 10,000 stores throughout North America.
Haggar also owns Montreal-based Tribal, thought to be the largest women’s sportswear supplier to the specialty boutique market in North America, with over 2,400 active accounts.
“The acquisition of Haggar is an important waypoint on our strategic journey,” says Jeffrey Spiegel, CEO of Randa Accessories. “This acquisition allows Randa to bring its existing expertise to adjacent brands, channels of distribution, and product classifications.
