GALLS® Expands into Canada through Strategic Acquisition
In a significant move toward broadening its operational footprint, GALLS®, a premier supplier of uniforms and tactical gear for public safety professionals in the United States, has announced its acquisition of Uniform Works. This strategic maneuver not only marks GALLS®'s first entry into the Canadian market but also underscores the company’s commitment to serving those who serve the public.
Familiar Ties and Shared Values
GALLS®' CEO, Mike Fadden, expressed enthusiasm for the acquisition, highlighting the strong reputation that Uniform Works has built within Canada’s public safety community over the last 20 years. Fadden stated, “With Uniform Works' trusted reputation in Canada, the move brings together two mission-driven organizations dedicated to serving law enforcement, fire, EMS, and security professionals with the uniforms and gear they need when they need it.” This alignment of values is critical as it fosters a shared mission of excellence in serving those on the frontlines of public service.
Will Melnyk, founder of Uniform Works, expressed his thoughts on this pivotal union. He noted, “Uniform Works has always been guided by integrity, service, and relationships. Becoming GALLS®' first acquisition in Canada underscores both the strength of what we have built and the opportunity ahead.” Melnyk's leadership will continue as he and his team integrate into GALLS®' operations, guaranteeing that existing Canadian customers maintain the quality service they have come to expect.
Enhanced Service Offering for Canadian Customers
One of the most exciting developments for Canadian customers will be the introduction of GALLS®' advanced eQuip platform. This innovative technology will provide a new level of efficiency and convenience for public safety personnel. GALLS® plans to leverage its extensive product lineup—coupled with Uniform Works' established customer base—to enhance its service offering significantly across the nation. This move promises to deliver not only a broader range of products but also increased customization options for agencies, thereby catering to the unique needs of Canadian public safety professionals.
GALLS® brings over five decades of experience, reaching over a million public safety professionals every year. The integration of Uniform Works into the GALLS® family represents a commitment to not only expand their business but to continue elevating the standards of service quality and product availability for their customers.
A Shared Commitment to Public Safety
Acquiring Uniform Works is not merely a financial maneuver; it symbolizes a dedicated effort to build stronger relationships with the Canadian public safety community. Both companies have a shared aim: to provide first responders with the best gear and support possible. Through this acquisition, GALLS® ensures that the Canadian market can benefit from its extensive product offerings and innovative solutions previously unavailable locally.
As GALLS® integrates its systems and processes with those of Uniform Works, the expansion into Canada is poised to strengthen the commitment to public safety shared by both companies.
This acquisition opens new doors for collaboration and support among public safety professionals, illustrating that the protective services members deserve top-tier gear and unwavering commitment during their service to communities.
