SINN Féin’s Elisha McCallion has said staff at Derry-based firm Invista should be kept informed about all details of the firm’s sale.
The Foyle MP said: “The announcement that Invista, which has a plant in Derry’s Maydown Works, has sold its apparel and advanced textiles business to the Shandong Ruyi Investment Company will no doubt concern local workers.
“The initial indications, however, are positive as Shandong Ruyi have said they intend to invest in Invista.
“This will hopefully ensure the future of the plant and its workforce in Derry in the years to come.
“It is important that staff and their representatives are kept informed about any developments in the sale process in the time ahead.
“I look forward to the continued growth and expansion of Invista in the north west,” she added.
