CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Subject's General Manager refused to disclose financial and employee data on subject.

 

Subject assumed the textile business activities, mainly manufacturing and dyeing of woolen and synthetic worsted yarn, of VITALGO TEXTILE WORKS LTD. (now G.J.E. PROMOTING INVESTMENTS LTD., which became a real estate company, with no affiliation to subject).

In November 2000, the Vitale family (Bruno, Ron and Eldad) sold their stake (65% altogether) in VITALGO TEXTILE WORKS LTD. for the sum of NIS 44.3 million. Eldad Vitale’s (shareholder number 4) share in the public company was 21.8%.

 

Subject’s officials informed us that as of now subject has no manufacturing and/or dyeing activities, and they focus on trade only. VITALGO was a well-known in the local textile industry.

The local textile industry has been in state of crisis during last decade in face of amounting import from foreign competitors with cheaper production costs, forcing streamlining process, plants closure, and mostly resulting in the shift of textile manufacturing to low labor cost countries. Many veteran companies in the sector, such as subject, were forced to change their focus from manufacturing to trade (many other quit the sector altogether). The advantage of subject was the valuable real estate they held and sold (and still hold other real estate properties, subject as the one serving subject).

 

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), import of fabrics and yarns rose in 2010 by 16.6% and reached US$ 684.5 million. This reflects the recovery in general in the local economy, as well as in the global economic environment (import fell in 2009 by 17.2% from 2008), and return to the growth trend in the recent years beforehand.

The Chinese production comprises the largest portion of the imported textile goods followed by France, Italy, Hong Kong and Turkey. The increase in imports emanates from the exposure to foreign markets policy by the State.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Notwithstanding the refusal to disclose financial details, considered good for trade engagements.

Maximum umsecured credit recommended US$ 50,000.
