Delta Galil to set up $13mn textile plant in Vietnam

The new plant to be built at a cost of US$ 13 million will come up on an area of 18,000 square metres in Phu Cat district, according to Vietnamese media reports.

 

As per the license issued by the Binh Dinh Investment Promotion Centre, Delta Galil Industries will develop a textile-dyeing-garment plant in Cat Trinh Industrial Park developed by Bha Be Garment Corporation.

 

The project, to come up under Delta Galil Vietnam, will produce yarn, fabric and clothing items. Scheduled to go operational in the last quarter of this year, the project would create several jobs and contribute in speeding up socio-economic development in Phu Cat district.

 

The new plant is expected to produce 1.3 million pieces annually, generating yearly revenue of $30 million.

 

Last year, for the first time, the Tel Aviv-based company reported full year sales of more than $1 billion, showing top-line growth in all key geographic regions, as well as the positive impact of Delta Galil’s diverse customer mix and growing sales of branded products.

 

“Delta Galil is relentless in seeking new opportunities to innovate, grow and enhance our shareholder value. In 2015, we expect to benefit from our newer relationships, such as Lacoste and Marc O’Polo, our first full year with Avia, and continued expansion of our Activewear business. At the same time, we are driving improvements in the production area, and will invest in a new facility in Vietnam to support growth in the coming years,” Isaac Dabah, CEO of Delta Galil, said in a statement.

 

Established in 1975, Delta Galil develops innovative seamless apparel including bras, shapewear and socks, intimate apparel for women, extensive lines of innerwear for men, babywear, activewear, sleepwear, and leisurewear.
