Jolidon is a Romanian lingerie and swimsuit manufacturer, founded in 1993 in Cluj-Napoca.
In 1993, an entrepreneur, Gabriel Cîrlig, identified in the Romanian market after the 1989 revolution two types of products that were necessary, but scarcely available at the time, lingerie and swimsuits. After 27 years of activity, Jolidon products are exported especially to the European Union but also to Americas and Asia.
In 2000, the company founded Jolidon Hungary KFT in Budapest, and then in 2001 Jolidon Italia SRL in Milano. Later, it extended to France as Jolidon France SARL, first in Paris, then in Lyon. As of March 2008, Jolidon operated 103 stores, 65 in Romania, 35 in Italy, and 3 in Hungary. It also franchises 10 boutiques in France. In addition to these stores, Jolidon is also sold at Uplift Intimate Apparel in Carmel, Indiana, USA. At the end of 2009, Jolidon's own network totaled 85 stores in Romania.
