Gildan Activewear Inc. (TSX:GIL) is seeking acquisitions. Glenn J. Chamandy, founder, President, Chief Executive Officer and Non-Independent Director of Gildan said, "I would say for this year, we're going to continue to consolidate and acquisitions you can look forward to as we move into '19 and beyond." Rhodri J. Harries, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of Gildan said,"So I think you shouldn't get confused about why we think buying back stock is a good idea effectively. It's these factors and then obviously we'll make sure we have very good flexibility to go after acquisitions as required when we're ready."
