Canadian Apparel Brand Shifts Focus to Europe Amid Trade Tensions
April 29, 2025 - 10:38
Paul Long, founder of the made-in-Canada apparel brand Anian, has announced that his company is putting its planned expansion into the United States on hold. Instead, Anian is redirecting its efforts towards strengthening its presence in the European market. Long attributes this strategic shift to the ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the U.S., which have complicated business operations and relationships.
Long expressed that the challenges posed by the trade war have inadvertently allowed Anian to forge stronger ties with European partners. The brand is now focusing on leveraging these relationships to enhance its market presence across Europe. This pivot not only reflects Anian's adaptability in a changing economic landscape but also showcases the potential for growth outside of North America.
As the company moves forward with its European plans, Long remains optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead, emphasizing the importance of resilience and innovation in the face of adversity.
