With roots that date back more than four decades to South Africa, our goal has long been to be the industry's number one culinary apparel partner of choice. In the 1960s, Joseph Gross launched his work-apparel sales and manufacturing business and today, with his five sons on four continents, clients the world over benefit from the Gross Family's long-standing commitment to providing the highest quality apparel and superior customer service. The Gross brothers proudly carry on the company's core mission - "the creation of a dynamic company with the most talented, most motivated people working together in order to achieve excellence in our industry by truly caring for our employees and our clients." We take great pride in having developed the world's most trusted culinary apparel brand. We've done so by working alongside each and every client and by understanding their unique needs. Today, our stylish, comfortable, durable clothing is worn by the world's leading culinarians and institutions and is distributed in over 30 countries. Leading hotel chains, restaurant chains, culinary institutions, industry suppliers and retailers have trusted Chef Works to meet their apparel needs.
