June 11, 2018 (Montreal, QC) – Craft Sportswear Canada (Sport Craft, Inc.), a world leader in functional sportswear, and a division of New Wave Group, has announced the launch of its new Canadian subsidiary offices in Ville-Saint-Laurent, Quebec.

Craft is a Swedish performance apparel company specializing in base layers, mid layers, nordic ski apparel, cycling apparel, run and cross-over training, sportswear and accessories. The new offices will host several NWG brands, including outdoor and ski accessories brands Auclair and Paris Gloves of Canada.

This subsidiary launch will allow the expanding Craft sales, customer service and marketing teams to better support Canadian retailers and consumers alike.
