DIM Apparel

DIM is an iconic French brand that revolutionized the hosiery and underwear market since its inception in the 1950s. Originally founded by Bernard Giberstein in Autun, France, the company became famous for mass-producing high-quality nylon stockings. Over the decades, DIM expanded into men's underwear and lingerie, becoming a household name in Europe.

Today, while the brand maintains deep roots in France—with a significant industrial site still operating in Autun for specific technical products like tights—manufacturing is distributed across multiple countries, including Tunisia, Romania, and various Asian locations to optimize global distribution.

Ownership has changed several times in recent years. After being owned by the American HanesBrands Inc., the DIM group (along with other European brands) was acquired by the US-based asset management firm Regent LP in late 2021. As of 2024 and beyond, Regent LP remains the ultimate owner, managing the brand under the 'Hanes Europe Innerwear' (HEI) corporate umbrella, rebranded as 'Dim Brands International'.
