Jerash Holdings (U.S), Inc. announced that it signed an agreement to operate its fourth manufacturing facility in Al Tajamouat Industrial City, a Qualified Industrial Zone located in Amman, Jordan. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. Upon the closing of the acquisition, the facility is expected to add 1.5 to 1.8 million pieces per year to Jerash’s current annual capacity of approximately 6.5 million pieces, an increase of up to 27% annually. The new facilities are an existing garment manufacturing operation adjacent to Jerash’s three large manufacturing centers. Jerash will assume the building lease from the prior owner and pay approximately $380,000 for all of the outstanding shares of Al-Mutafaweq Co. for Garments Manufacturing Ltd., the previous operator of the facility. Additionally, Jerash is coordinating with the Jordanian Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of Labor and Customs Department to assume the existing compliance certificates and workplace certifications, including the facility’s Better Work Jordan credentials. Terms of the transaction call for two additional milestone payments, totaling up to $600,000 to be paid by Jerash upon taking over the dormitory facilities and assuming control of a satellite sewing facility associated with the acquired facilities. Jerash intends to further invest in machinery, dormitory expansion and facility audits to support additional growth at the new facility.
