Shift to focus on electronics materials

Cheil Industries Inc, a unit of South Korea’s Samsung Group, said it would sell its fashion business to unlisted affiliate Samsung Everland in a strategic shift to focus on electronics materials.

The 1.05 trillion won (US$968.6 million) asset transfer comes as the group seeks to tighten its grip on electronics components and materials and ensure easy access to the latest technology as it battles global rivals such as Apple Inc in the rapidly changing mobile industry.

Cheil Industries, which began as a textile firm in 1954 before expanding into fashion in the 1980s and later into electronics materials, has seen its fortunes increasingly tied to the IT industry, due to its supply deals to Samsung Electronics Co.
