iFabric Corp Signs New Maidenform Brands Agreement

MARKHAM, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 23, 2015) - iFabric Corp (TSX VENTURE:IFA), hereinafter referred to as "iFabric" or the "Company", today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary company, Coconut Grove Pads Inc. ("CGP"), has entered into a license and distribution agreement with MFB International Holdings S.a.r.l., a subsidiary of HanesBrands Inc. ("Hanes"). The new agreement replaces a recently expired agreement between CGP and Maidenform Inc. ("Maidenform"), which was acquired by Hanes in October 2013. The agreement covers the distribution by CGP of intimate apparel accessories, specialty bra solutions and sleepwear under various Maidenform brands.

"The new agreement underscores the confidence that Hanes has in CGP, as a result of the substantial sales growth that we have achieved in Maidenform branded products since the signing of the original agreement with Maidenform in January 2011," said Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric. "I am particularly excited about the new sleepwear category that has been added to our license. We have had great success with regard to our recent sleepwear offerings and will commence showing the initial Maidenform sleepwear ranges to our customers towards the end of 2015, followed by the official market launch in Q3 of 2016. We will also be adding new products to our accessory and specialty bra offerings. I feel confident that we will see significant growth in apparel sales in 2016 and beyond as a result of the new agreement," concluded Hylton Karon.
