On 10th July, Auction Council for Long An Textile Company located in Southern province of Long An reported that People's committee has approved price of the Group's equity at VND95 billion or US $5.9 million.
The company, with its clothes and trademark had created a niche for itself in the Vietnam's textile industry and among state garment enterprises and customers.

"Special priority shall be granted to units who could negotiate with its creditor to make acquisition of the company. Buyers have options of acquiring both its assets including textile machinery and land use right or just its possessions but leasing the land.", an official of the council said.
