A Family Tradition
Founded by the Gross family, Chef Works traces its roots back to 1964 in South Africa. Here, the family began its journey in the design and manufacturing of workwear.
Sixty years later, driven by the belief that chefs shouldn't have to choose between comfortable and functional, Chef Works has redefined uniform apparel.
