Ephemerides of November 25: Canadelle buys Créations Daisy Fresh in 1987
On November 25, 1987, just like the Créations Daisy Fresh factory in the Saint-Roch district of Quebec, the one on avenue Saint-Jérôme in Matane had just been purchased by Canadelle, a manufacturer of lingerie items marketed under Wonderbra brand.
The transaction, the amount of which has not been disclosed, affects all of the manufacture of lingerie items with the exception of the pantyhose division.
The buyer does not envisage any change for the moment. The two companies will continue their activities independently and no layoffs should follow. Créations Daisy Fresh will therefore continue to manufacture bras and panties under the Daisy Fresh, Naturelle and Nuance brands.
Canadelle is a division of the Sara Lee conglomerate of Chicago that specializes in the manufacture of consumer goods, with annual sales totaling $9 billion. Sara Lee oversees the Hanes, L'Eggs, Bali and Isotoner divisions of Haris.
