Israeli tailored clothing maker Bagir has agreed terms with Shandong Ruyi Technology for the leading Chinese textile group to take a 54% stake in the company.

The agreement follows news released by the two companies in November last year that Shandong Ruyi would invest US$16.5m for a majority 54% stake in Bagir.

The agreed terms see Shandong Ruyi invest into Bagir in return for 359.6m new ordinary shares representing a 53.7% stake.

Bagir has said the significant increase in capital will enable it to expand the suit trouser lines at its manufacturing base in Ethiopia, as well as establish jacket production lines in the country. In turn, this would boost its ability to win major apparel contracts from the world’s largest retailers.

Shandong says that as a result of its international textile and retail investments, it is well-positioned to provide Bagir with “significant” new commercial opportunities. The strategic partnership has the potential to have a “transformational effect” on the operations and the prospects of the Israeli company, Shandong added, while increasing its own profile and reputation.
