Logistik Unicorp, which has been supplying military uniforms to New Zealand for several months, will soon open a garment factory in Togo, West Africa.
The family business and its few overseas subsidiaries specialize in the complete management of work uniforms. From manufacturing to delivery, it manages uniforms and accessories (bags, shoes, etc.) from A to Z (on four continents) for military personnel and first responders.
In Canada, Logistik Unicorp has 24 clients and dresses nearly 320,000 people.
