[4] Jerusalem Post, March 1, 1999 http://www.jpost.com/com/Archive/01.Mar.1999/Business/Article-0.html "Delta Galilis the nation's largest manufacturer and marketer of textiles and is one of the largest private-label underwear manufacturers in the world. The company was one of the first local firms to benefit from the peace process, as it moved manufacturing to neighboring countries with low labor costs. Delta currently manufactures in Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Scotland. Dov Lautman, Delta's chairman and largest shareholder holds 56% of the company and Sara Lee, the world's largest clothing manufacturer, has some 30%. The remainder is traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange."

The two will collaborate in the creation of a new firm, S.N.Fibres, at a $30 million investment, to make the fibers. Under the terms of their agreement, all of S.N.Fibres' output will be purchased by Sara Lee for processing. Sara Lee has already been involved in various Israeli textile ventures. Nilit is a nylon manufacturer for the textiles and plastics industry."

The largest international boycott today is the boycott of Israel and the related blacklist of companies doing business with Israel by certain Arab countries. Any request for information or action that seems to be related to this or any illegal boycott should be immediately forwarded to the Law Department. URL: http://www.inminds.com/boycott-sara-lee.html
