WIP Trading is a privately held company headquartered in Weil am Rhein, Switzerland that is tracked here as an owner of consumer businesses.[1]

WIP Trading is the European company that has licensed the Carhartt name since 1989 and designs its own collections under it. It is separate from the American Carhartt, which owns the trademark, so the workwear sold in Detroit and the streetwear sold in Berlin come from two different businesses.
