Polo
Car in Sandton

The Polo shirt soon became synonymous with the best of quality. The Polo factory became a leading manufacturer of shirts in South Africa, also producing for prominent local brands. In 1978, Gordon expanded his production and started manufacturing shirts for international brands, amongst these Christian Dior and Lanvin. He also exported Polo shirts internationally to the UK and Switzerland. In 1979 the business expanded its production line to further the menswear collection, and soon after Polo womenswear and new product categories followed, cementing the brand as a lifestyle brand. Polo now employs a vast array of specialist designers, buyers, planners, merchandisers and a procurement team that delivers seasonal collections of menswear, womenswear, kid’s apparel, homeware and accessories. From our front line team in stores, to the team working behind the scene to make our beautiful seasonal collections possible, each individual is selected for the contribution they make to the success of our company. Our Polo team is talented, skilled and knowledgeable. We have strong attention to detail, are courteous, with high levels of energy and we all have a strong focus on customer service. Those who consistently work well within a team thrive at Polo. We are always keen to hear from like-minded individuals that meet the relevant criteria. A counterfeit is an imitation fraudulently passed off as a genuine product. Counterfeiting not only destroys the integrity and value of the Polo brand but affects our business and our economy. Counterfeits cannot be exchanged and have no guarantee. Counterfeit is related to organised crime and is imported and sold by criminal networks. There are many activities that can be characterized as organised crime such as counterfeit goods, trafficking in weapons, drug trafficking, smuggling of migrants, money- laundering and some aspects of cybercrime. It threatens peace and human security and leads to human rights being violated. Each year, countless lives are lost as a result of organised crime. Polo has a zero tolerance approach to counterfeiting and works closely with law enforcement to remove counterfeits from the market place.
