Taiwan Firm Roo Hsing to Be Largest Jeans Maker After Merger
Taiwanese garment manufacturer Roo Hsing says it would be the world’s largest jeans provider from Aug. 1 after a merger with China-based JD United Manufacturing. Jeans production at JD United is four times that of Roo Hsing, which will bring the annual jeans output to 84 million pairs, or 7 per cent of the world’s supply, points out Roo Hsing, VP, Hsu Chung-jung. Hsing’s board in 2015 agreed to buy out JD United for $388 million, which was raised in full on June 20 this year.
The merger allows integration between Roo Hsing’s suppliers in Cambodia and Nicaragua, as well as JD United’s suppliers in Myanmar, Tanzania and China, says Hsu. The new supply chain is to cut costs and waste for Roo Hsing, which supplies Levi Strauss, Gap, Uniqlo operator Fast Retailing and Hennes & Mauritz.
