Andrei Master Tailors

What Andrei Master Tailors does

Andrei Master Tailors (legal name Andrei Tailors Ltd.) is a privately held Canadian custom-uniform manufacturer founded in 1989 in Fredericton, New Brunswick by Andrei Bujdoso, a second-generation European-trained tailor. The company designs and produces hand-tailored uniforms for Canadian military branches, municipal and federal police forces, fire/EMS services, marching bands, Scottish Highland communities, business and hospitality clients, and historical reenactment institutions. Its core technical differentiator is a pattern-free cutting method grounded in mathematical formulas executed by Master Tailors, with each garment assembled from up to 200 individually shaped pieces, all cut and sewn in-house in Canada.

The company claims North America's largest Master Tailor team, with skilled tailors primarily trained in Romania, Ukraine, Syria, and India. Production is delivered through four company-owned facilities (Fredericton NB, Ottawa ON, Kingston ON, Borden ON), a coast-to-coast agent network providing measurements, fittings, and alterations, the CANEX military retail channel, and an online order form for Mess Dress Uniforms. Revenue is generated through quote-based custom uniform manufacturing, professional alterations, and accessories (shirts, boots, crests, insignias), with CANEX 0% interest financing available for Canadian military full dress purchases. International customers include accounts in the United States, Bermuda, and Europe.

The company remains family-owned with no external investors, no parent entity, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding. Distribution is largely domestic Canadian, with no explicit digital marketing or paid acquisition channels identified; growth appears to be primarily reputation-driven and supported by a partnership model under which outside entrepreneurs co-invest 45% in new tailoring locations.
