Texhong Textile has acquired the yarn spinning business, along with all of its yarn spinning-related technologies and patents of Central Textiles (Hong Kong) Group, a decision that hurtled the company’s business even further.

The company is expected to begin its second phase of construction of a grey fabric factory, a dyeing factory and a garment factory of the Vietnam Galaxy project in 2016.

Riding on the recently signed Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, of which Vietnam is a member country, Texhong is determined to make the most of it.
