Union Bay Goes Global
Seattlebased Union Bay is heading to Canada, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei thanks to a pair of international licensing agreements. The company signed an exclusive apparel licensing deal with Jaytex of Canada Ltd., which will put the brand north of the U.S. border. A deal with Hing Yiap Knitting Industries BHD grants the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia–based company the license for Union Bay apparel, footwear, watches, eyewear and bags in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. Hing Yiap plans to open a Union Bay concept store and several in-store shops by mid-2004.
