SWIFT GALEY Company Description
SWIFT GALEY (formerly Galey & Lord Swift Denim) is growing into its britches. Despite suffering through bankruptcy twice in the past five years, denim still looks good on the slimmed down company. One of the leading US producers of denim, SWIFT GALEY also makes twill, poplin, and corduroy for major retailers including Abercrombie & Fitch and Gap. It operates four divisions, with denim sold in each of them: jeans, specialty fabrics for the home, sportswear, and uniforms. In 2004 the company (then known as Galey & Lord) entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time since 2002. In November 2004 New York-based investment firm Patriarch Partners LLC bought Galey & Lord for approximately $188 million.
