08/07/2010

Arnon Tiberg has been named as the chairman of the board of directors at Israel-based Tefron, which produces seamless intimate apparel and activewear.

Mr Tiberg replaces Jacob Gelbard who had served as chairman of Tefron since 2007. He previously served as president and CEO of Delta Galil Industries and is a board member at Israeli nylon fibre manufacturer Nilit.

Tefron CEO, Amit Meridor, said: "Arnon brings to Tefron in-depth understanding of managing manufacturing companies in general, and the textile industry, in particular. His long industry experience and direct knowledge of the major customer base will help to strengthen Tefron's turnaround programme and especially in improving our service to customers.

“I have great respect for Arnon, having seen his constructive influence on the board of directors at Nilit, where I managed the fibre division, and I look forward to working with Arnon now even more closely to take Tefron forward in its restructuring programme."
Tefron’s product line includes briefs, bras, tank tops, boxers, leggings, T-shirts, nightwear, bodysuits, swimwear, beachwear and activewear.
