American Marconi Wireless News - Jerash Holdings to Acquire New Manufacturing Facility and Associated Land; Expected to Significantly Increase Company's Production Capacity

The Company committed a $0.6 million down payment, with the Housing Bank financing the remaining $2.8 million of the acquisition over an eight-year period, with the first principal payment due from Jerash in February 2027.

Jerash plans to invest an additional approximate $5.0 million to renovate the property and for the purchase of advanced manufacturing equipment to establish its new flagship production complex. This strategic investment is expected to allow Jerash to increase its manufacturing capacity by at least 40 percent and support increasing demand from existing customers, while enabling the Company to pursue new business opportunities.

Renovations are anticipated to be completed before the end of 2026. Once operational, the new facility is expected to gradually employ up to approximately 2,500 workers, as demand and order volumes increase. Recruiting efforts will begin before renovations are completed and prior to the installation of new equipment, ensuring the facility can ramp up operations quickly upon completion.

"This investment in our future reflects management's and our board's confidence in the strength of our business, our markets, and long-term growth outlook, and represents a major milestone in Jerash's business growth strategy for the next five years," said Sam Choi, Jerash's chairman and chief executive officer. "Customer demand from global apparel brands continues to strengthen, and this new facility gives us the necessary capacity and technological capability to scale responsibly, while maintaining the quality and reliability our customers expect.

"Beyond increasing production, this investment is about people and partnerships. We are very excited to bring new jobs and new people to the community, and expand our business with new and existing customers, as we position Jerash to achieve sustained growth and success for years to come, and further enhance shareholder value," Choi added.
