## Business Summary

GAIA Custom Apparel was founded in 1998 in Vancouver, British Columbia, by Brett Price. The company has over 25 years of experience designing and manufacturing fully custom team uniforms and performance gear. Every item is made to order using full-body dye sublimation printing — meaning the entire garment surface, including all colours, graphics, and logos, is printed at no extra charge per colour.

GAIA's philosophy is athlete-driven: athletes are involved directly in designing their own products. The company's mission is to deliver quality, fully custom uniforms and merchandise on time, at a competitive price, and with minimal environmental impact.

In Spring 2009, GAIA went fully virtual — eliminating physical offices, retail stores, and warehouses — and began shipping factory-direct to customers or event locations worldwide. This structure reduces environmental footprint and drives down costs.

GAIA primarily serves Ultimate Frisbee and Dragon Boat racing communities, and also produces custom uniforms for a wide range of other team sports and event merchandise needs. The company operates three regional hubs covering the Americas, Europe, and Japan/Asia.
