Hanesbrands Inc, The Largest American Underwear Manufacturer, Is Selling European Business Out Of The European Market
Hanesbrands Inc, the largest underwear manufacturer in the US
(NYSE:HBI) announced on Wednesday that it plans to sell its European Imagewear business, and plans to close the private label business and sell the Outer Banks brand in the US.
Imagewear constitutes 8% of Hanesbrands's revenue.
The company is expected to take into account the restructuring expenses related to the sale of the Imagewear sector in the second quarter, which is between us $85 million and US $95 million, and expects that the sale will lead to a reduction of US $60 million in the second half of this year.
Matt Hall, a spokesman for the company, said the restructuring would not lead to layoffs.
The sale will eliminate all HanesBrands's exposure to Europe, where the economic situation seems to be deteriorating.
The company plans to sell the Imagewear department at a price of about 15 million euros (US $18 million 800 thousand) to a subsidiary company of Smartwares BV, Holland.
