It all began in the early 1930's. My grandfather, Fred Wilk, the founder, had a vision to establish his own dress shirt manufacturing company. By 1935, a manufacturing facility located in Camilla, Georgia was built and an office was established in New York City. During the early years my grandparents and relatives worked together in both locations.

Long hours, faith and a deep commitment to customer service enabled Wilk to prosper and expand. In 1948, my father, Alan, (Fred's son-in-law and a graduate of Syracuse University) arrived on the scene. Business prospered, the factory was expanded contractors were added to the manufacturing mix. By 1960 Wilk was an established private label dress shirt manufacturer.

Then in 1973 my grandfather passed away suddenly, a few days after my 21st birthday. My father became president and with the help of Dick Catlin, Wilk continued to prosper. I graduated from American University in 1974 and immediately joined the business.

In 1985 we began importing and manufacturing worldwide. We've continued today in expanding globally and diversified our product mix. At the present time, I am President and my father continues as C.F.O. Our product offerings have continued to increase with several new joint ventures firmly in place.

Today we manufacture and import dress and woven sport shirts, sleepwear, workwear and flame retardant children's sleepwear. We have changed our trading name from Wilk Shirt to Wilk International to better describe our business. Our goal is to expand our customer base and improve our product offerings while maintaining our original philosophy - customer service.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
