Industrial group moves into textiles
07/10/2010
The company has focused on energy, mining and engineering, but has confirmed plans to buy a 75% stake in US textile manufacturer Obion Textiles, in line with the strategy to grow through acquisitions. The price of the deal was not disclosed.
Obion will be run by a still-to-be-created GRIT subsidiary. It currently produces textiles for the apparel market.
