The Canadian textile industry is producing premier class, high quality goods for the international
market. Our targeted, market-focused approach, our investments in R&D and our highly-skilled
workforce contribute massively to our ability to position ourselves in this way. Our dedication to
our industry and our belief that we should continue to build on the decades of experience and
expertise behind us are also driving this strategy.
Workwear Canada is a landmark industry event that has received wide acclaim in Montreal, both
within our own industry and beyond. It is our goal to ensure that Canadian and international buyers,
especially those representing first responders, municipalities, public security agencies and
medical experts, are fully aware of the excellent standard and range of products offered to them
by our industry. We also wish to ensure that we as an industry recognize the progress we are
making by offering you unparalleled networking opportunities, enabling you to build your business
strategically through commercial and technological partnerships.
It is therefore my great pleasure to welcome you to Mississauga today. I wish you all an excellent
day of business and discovery.

President of CTA
l’industrie canadienne des textiles fabrique des produits de premier plan et de qualité
supérieure pour le marché international. Notre approche ciblée axée sur le marché, nos
investissements en r-D et notre main-d’œuvre hautement qualifiée participent grandement à
notre capacité de nous positionner ainsi. Nous devons également cela à notre dévouement envers
notre industrie, ainsi qu’à notre conviction selon laquelle il nous faut continuer à tirer parti
des dizaines d’années d’expérience et d’expertise qui sont les nôtres.
Workwear Canada, qui est un des événements phares de l’industrie, a été largement salué
à montréal, à la fois au sein et au-delà de notre secteur d’activité. Nous avons pour ambition
de voir les acheteurs canadiens et internationaux, notamment ceux qui agissent pour
le compte de premiers intervenants, de municipalités, d’organismes de sécurité publique
et de spécialistes en médecine, prendre pleinement connaissance de l’excellence des
normes et de la richesse de la gamme de produits que leur propose notre industrie. Nous souhaitons
également que notre industrie puisse reconnaître les progrès que nous réalisons
grâce aux occasions de réseautage incomparables que nous lui offrons; ces occasions vous
permettent d’assurer de manière stratégique le développement de votre entreprise, en nouant
des partenariats technologiques et commerciaux.
Dès lors, j’ai l’immense plaisir de vous souhaiter la bienvenue aujourd’hui, à mississauga.

The events in the Hightex series - Workwear Canada, Expo Hightex and Buytex - have become
landmark events for our industry. And the industry has told us that it wants these
initiatives to continue to grow stronger. I am therefore very proud to welcome you to this
first edition of Workwear Canada in Toronto. I believe Workwear Canada is symbolic of our
strength as partners and of the value of building upon Canada’s reputation as a supplier of
quality, innovative and customized textile products.
Workwear Canada is exactly the kind of activity that the industry has prescribed in the Technology
Roadmap for the Canadian textile industry. The Roadmap is our structure for ensuring
that technological innovation remains a cornerstone of business strategy. Ongoing development
of our products will enable us to maintain our position in the global market place and
it will furthermore open new market opportunities to us.
The Roadmap’s motto is “Innovation through partnership”. The business, technological and
strategic networking opportunities being offered to you today represent some of the tangible
outcomes of this vision. From manufacturers to retailers, from end-users to researchers
-wherever you may be positioned on the value chain, at Workwear Canada you become a
part of our drive for excellence.
I am sure you will indeed have a great day of networking and I hope to see you all at Expo
Hightex in Montreal in the fall.

Lac-Mac was established in 1920 as a manufacturer of products specifically
designed for the health care market. In the early 1980’s
the need for greater protection in the operating room became increasingly
important. After researching a number of technologies
available in the market place, Lac-Mac initiated collaboration
with W.L. Gore & Associates to help engineer a product using the
innovation of their barrier membrane for use in surgical products.
The result was the development of GORE ® Surgical Barrier Fabrics.
This liquid-proof fabric provides complete protection from
fluids and bloodborne pathogens while allowing body moisture
to escape keeping the wearer very comfortable. Products made
from GORE ® Barrier Fabric meet the standard for highest level of
protection. With the knowledge and expertise gained in developing
this high-performance product, expansion to a line of Chemical
Splash Protective wear was launched. Our suits can be used in
Petrochemical manufacturing, Mining, Potash and Phosphate production
and many others. Today Lac-Mac is recognized as a
market leader with unsurpassed expertise in manufacturing products
made with various types of GORE® fabrics. Our in-house design
team can custom design products to meet specific customer
needs with very quick turn-around time and competitive prices.
We are ISO 9001 registered, we have a Medical Device Manufacturing
Designation approved by Health Canada and the F.D.A.
and manufacture products which are NFPA Certified. Please be
sure to stop by Booth #314 to learn more about how Lac-Mac
can be of service to you, we look forward to seeing you.

Metcalf Brothers is a manufacturer of quality fabrics for the uniform
industry. We produce fabrics in a wide range of contents,
weights, and weaves.
Unlike other mills that produce piece dye fabrics, Metcalf only carries
stock dye/fiber dye products. The fiber dye process is more
costly, but it provides the color continuity that customers are looking
for and is vital to the uniform industry.
Wicking, soil repellency and other popular performance
features are also part of the Metcalf catalog.
Metcalf has achieved its competitive edge, in part, through joint ventures
with plants overseas and in Mexico. In addition, Metcalf works
as a team with its manufacturers, helping them plan better and buy
smarter. For its middle market customers, Metcalf even provides a
needs assessment each quarter, helping to streamline expenses and
minimize overhead.
Metcalf is proud to offer fabrics at competitive prices and expeditious
deliveries.

Woolpower is a registered trademark for high performance thermal
undergarments and socks. The products are made of a unique combination of
2/3 fine merino wool and 1/3 of high-tech synthetic fibers. An advanced knitting
technique creates a terry-loop weave which provides a thermal insulating layer
and keeps a body warm when its cold, even if the garments are wet from sweat
or rain. The garment is soft, lightweight, elastic, durable and absorbs and wicks
moisture away from the skin.
The Woolpower products are tested regularly by SINTEF of Norway, both in
a laboratory environment and on test groups ranging from forestry workers,
fishermen, road workers and drivers to the military and oil platform
workers. Over the years, several thousand field trials have been conducted
on a variety of test persons in Germany, Norway, Sweden, Russia, France,
the U.S. etc.
Wool terry cloth contains up to 80% air, which binds to the crimpy fibers. The air
forms an insulating layer along the skin and prevents heat from escaping.
In addition, the air bound in the terry cloth loops creates a double thermal
effect. In tests conducted in Siberia by Russian and Germany Governments,
Woolpower products have been rated for workers in conditions as low as
60C.
Woolpower is known for their demanding customers who test the products
for many years before buying. These include The Swedish Army, The Finish
Army, The French Army, The Norwegian Navy, The German Military Forces,
many police forces in Europe, as well as airports, harbors, utility and construction
companies. Woolpower products are sold through work wear and
outdoors retail stores all over Europe, the US, and Canada.
The Woolpower Company has beenmanufacturingWoolpowerproductsin Swedensince
1972. Woolpower as well as the Swedish axe manufacturer Granfors
Bruks Company and Gransfors Bruks Companies in the US and Canada are
owned and managed by the Swedish Branby family.
