Carhartt returns to Dundee after 40 years
Posted: Monday, April 17th, 2023
The American apparel company founded in 1889 has a soft corner for Dundee as the authentic workwear specialist once had factories there, according to Builders’ Merchants News. Now the company has returned to the Scottish city, thanks to an in-store partnership with Stiven, the workwear, PPE, paints and hygiene merchant. “Until just over 40 years ago, Carhartt had factories at Carolina Port and Baldovie in the city, as well as a shop in Murraygate, manufacturing jeans and overalls, so it is great to be back in a place that played a part in our company history,” said Nick Poulson, UK Country Manager. “Thanks to Stiven, Carhartt will once again be here for the hardworking tradespeople in this part of Scotland. Like Carhartt, Stiven has a long, rich heritage and has existed under a variety of names for well over 100 years. Allison Gray, a Dundee-based Workwear and PPE supplier, acquired the wood stains and paint business RC Stiven, forming Allison & Stiven. This company now includes a Hygiene Supplies division, and today Stiven has an online shopping hub as well. Based in Dundee in a modern 20,000-square-foot unit, Stiven’s showroom offers a comprehensive range of products from some of the world’s most trusted brands, including Carhartt. The Carhartt in-store display includes trousers, jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts, and T-Shirts as well as caps and beanies, making it easy for tradespeople to find the right workwear for the job.
