COMPANY HISTORY

Frederic E. Gaspard Sr. founded Gaspard in 1909. I am proud to say that this Canadian company has remained family owned to this day.

The company started manufacturing vestments and choir gowns and expanded into academic regalia in the 1940's. The business continued to grow through customer referrals and catalogue mailings, and as the years went by we expanded our operations.

In 1959 we opened Artneedle Craft in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1967 we opened Gaspard Inc. in Puerto Rico and in 1988 we opened Gaspard Ont. in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Gaspard manufacture clergy vestments, choir robes and academic regalia. We have had the honour of supplying vestments for many concelebrations internationally. Our vestments have been worn at numerous papal visits.

We have an extensive choir robe market and have provided robes for the Commonwealth and Pan American games. Our high quality choir robes have enhanced the appearance of many choirs around the world.

We manufacture academic regalia for universities, colleges, schools and individuals. As well as our deluxe and souvenir sales, we have an extensive rental program in North America. Howard University, Boston College, University of Massachusetts, University of Singapore, Harvard University, University of British Columbia, Queen's University, and University of Western Ontario are just some of the universities and colleges we serve as well as our own Universities and Colleges in Manitoba.

As we continue to grow we look forward to serving you and providing you with the fine service you so rightfully deserve.
