discovery & design

This first step is critical to our entire process. To ensure we remain a leading innovator in the apparel industry, we hold regular discussions with culinary and hospitality leaders worldwide to gather front-line feedback.

We also perform trend analysis research from a global position

to ensure we consistently deliver cutting-edge designs. We

immediately use that insight to begin designing new products

or enhancing existing products.

We can confidently attribute a strong portion of our continued

growth to our customer philosophy. Chef Works’ customer

philosophy is based on valued, long-term relationships built

between Chef Works and its customers – It’s what makes Chef

Works, Chef Works.

We maintain a “can-do” attitude to do whatever it takes to get

the job done for any customer, no matter how large or small.

Our goal has been to be the industry’s top culinary apparel partner of choice worldwide. In the 1960s, Joseph Gross launched his work apparel sales and manufacturing business in South Africa.

Today, the Gross family, featured in the picture to the right,

continues to satisfy customers the world over.
