GK Elite. Engineered for Cheer.

Cheer Sales Force Visits GK Headquarters in Reading, PA

In Early March, our GK Cheer Sales Force joined us at our headquarters in Reading, PA for our National Sales Meeting. Aside from learning how to help our customers with their special orders and all about the design and technology behind the GK Cheer Uniforms, the team also took a tour of our GK manufacturing facility. While we’d love to tell you how great it was, we think it sounds better coming from one of our team members, Kyle Gadke himself. And if you don’t believe it, read this actual post on fierceboard!

Gk Elite Plant Tour.... Wow!!!!

By Kyle Gadke

First off, I want to say, prior to coming here and seeing the plant, how it works, meeting corporate, etc - I already thought GK had the best uniforms (not because I work for them, but because I truly believe that) Anyway - After today, I don’t THINK they are the best - I KNOW!!!

All of their uniforms are made UNDER THIS ROOF here at corporate. Almost EVERYTHING (Actually, EVERYTHING, I believe) is made by HAND by workers here. I talked to several people who worked there today as we got a tour. One lady worked there for 20 years and said she LOVES coming to work every day. Another lady makes gymnastics scrunchies. She makes over 1500 scrunchies PER DAY! She is a SAINT!

I wish EVERYONE could see the plant on how GK makes their uniforms, the processes, the quality checks, how the jewels are applied, etc. IT’S INCREDIBLE!!! This isn’t meant to be a GK advertisement - I just want to say that I can’t believe that anyone would want to wear anything else!!!

Seriously - If you can ever tour the plant - DO IT! It’s INSANE!!!! Everyone is so nice and the new stuff coming out is GREAT!!!
