History[edit]
In 1883, G.C. Coppley, E. Finch Noyes and James Randall formed a menswear clothing company called Coppley, Noyes & Randall Ltd after purchasing John Calder & Co, a wholesale clothing company.[5] Coppley Noyes & Randall Ltd was located at 56 York Boulevard, Hamilton, Ontario in a building called the Commercial Block.[6] The Commercial Block "is the finest surviving pre-confederation" [7] stone building in the City of Hamilton.
In 1950, Max Enkin purchased Coppley, Noyes & Randall Ltd and kept it as a menswear clothing company.[8] In 1998, Coppley, Noyes & Randall Ltd was purchased by Hartmarx Corporation who renamed the company to Coppley Apparel Group Limited.[2] Ten years following the acquisition, Hartmarx Corporation went bankrupt[3] and sold Coppley Apparel Group Limited to HMX Canada Acquisition Corp who later renamed the company Coppley Corp in 2009.[4]
