Ross, Chairman of the ITG, said, "We anticipate our discussions with Vinatex to be quite broad in scope and range from commercial and technical points of view, encompassing global sales and services to more specific issues such as managing selected manufacturing plants in Viet Nam. We will also consider opportunities to invest in new and existing Vinatex facilities."
