About Gil Sewing Corp.
Gil Sewing Corp. operates from Morton Grove, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. Today it is a family‑run, women‑ and minority‑owned enterprise that has grown to employ several hundred sewing operators. The firm provides a turnkey apparel service covering design, development, cut‑and‑sew manufacturing, in‑house embroidery, and global sourcing from nine partner countries. Its 56,000‑square‑foot domestic facility is fully automated, featuring Gerber GtXL cutters capable of 30‑ply cuts and computerized sewing machines with servo motors. Production runs from small batches to large‑scale orders, with all domestic work — cutting, sewing, finishing, and shipping — handled under one roof. Clients span uniform suppliers, fashion brands, retail labels, and government agencies such as the Naval Center for Research and Testing. The product range includes tailored suits, shirts, bottoms, outerwear, knits, flame‑resistant garments, dresses, dress uniforms, activewear, dog apparel, and upholstery. Both domestic and overseas orders are developed in Chicago before being sent to partner factories in Mexico, China, El Salvador, Thailand, Vietnam, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Egypt. The company emphasizes a “perfection” philosophy built on rigorous quality control: DOD‑certified final audit testing, a consistent sub‑2.5 AQL, in‑process inspections at every operation, and dedicated auditors who travel to overseas plants multiple times per order. Its central location enables three‑day shipping anywhere in the United States.
