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.”   [5] Investment Promotion Center, The State of Israel Ministry of Industry & Trade website: http://www.moit.gov.il/root/Hidden/ipc/%7BF6922%7D “Nilit of Migdal HaEmek has signed a joint venture agreement with The US-based Sara Lee Corporation to manufacture POY yarn. 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.”   [6] http://www.saralee.com/corporate_overview/gbs/communities.html Sara Lee website has an interesting anti-boycott statement: Antiboycott: Sara Lee employees and its agents may not by law cooperate in any way with an unsanctioned foreign boycott of countries friendly to the United States. 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.
