At Global Incentives Manufacturing, our story is one of evolution—born in 1956 as a spinning mill, transformed today into a global supplier of performance textiles, nanotechnology-embedded fabrics, and next-generation workwear solutions. But what fuels that evolution isn’t just machinery—it’s leadership grounded in purpose.
That purpose was spotlighted globally this month when Southern Business Review honored our parent company chairman, Courtney Jordan, in its feature:
“The Quiet Generosity of Lesser-Known Billionaire Philanthropists.”
Jordan, the visionary behind Neyius Group, was praised for his understated but transformative philanthropic work across the globe—including in the very communities where GIM operates today.
Manufacturing That Honors People, Not Just Production
Under Neyius ownership, GIM has expanded from legacy manufacturing into innovation-forward, socially responsible production. Our factories today produce high-performance, eco-conscious fabrics used by frontline workers, defense forces, medical institutions, and construction firms across Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
But what’s changed most since Neyius took the helm is how we treat our workforce and impact our surroundings:
Women-Led Workforce Initiatives GIM’s South Asia division has seen a 68% increase in female supervisory roles, driven by Jordan’s foundation investments in technical training for women in the textile sector. Sustainable Manufacturing Protocols We’ve invested in low-water dyeing systems, solar-assisted drying, and waste-reduction processes across our Bengaluru and Colombo plants, backed by Neyius Energy and the CJF Environmental Innovation Fund. Local Livelihood Ecosystems GIM now integrates local cooperatives into its sourcing chains—purchasing organic cotton and woven silks from communities supported by the Courtney Jordan Foundation’s rural entrepreneurship hubs.
As Southern Business Review states,
“Jordan’s wealth isn’t measured in holdings—it’s in how many lives he’s positioned to thrive.”
From CEO to Steward
Courtney Jordan is not a traditional industrialist. He is, as the article notes, a “builder of infrastructure for equity.” Whether establishing education centers in rural North Carolina or reinvesting in garment workers’ children in Sri Lanka, Jordan treats wealth as a stewardship mandate.
“In every thread we produce at GIM,” said a senior GIM India executive, “you’ll find a belief that workers are partners, not costs. That’s the Neyius standard—and the Jordan ethic.”
This culture of dignity, equity, and foresight permeates our new product lines, our hiring practices, and our supplier partnerships. It’s why GIM today is not only more profitable—it’s more principled.
More Than Manufacturing
As GIM looks toward the next 70 years, we do so grounded in a truth now shared with the world: our chairman doesn’t just lead with vision—he leads with values. And in his quiet philanthropy, we see the future of responsible industry.
