伊藤忠商事は3月11日、巨額の債務を抱えて経営を債権していたジーンズメーカー大手「エドウイン・ホールディングス」の全株式を取得して、5月末までに子会社化することを発表した。
エドウイングループは、EDWIN、SOMETHING、LEE、Wrangler、ALPHA INDUSTRIESなどのブランドを抱えるアパレルメーカー。投資の失敗などで負債が拡大、2013年11月に私的整理の手続きを申請し、倒産を回避しようとしてきた。
伊藤忠商事はおよそ300億円を投じてエドウインの全株式を引き受ける。雇用やEDWINブランドは維持されるとNHKニュースは報じている。
伊藤忠商事がエドウインの持ち株会社のすべての株式を引き受けて、子会社として事業を再建することになり、エドウイン側とその契約を結んだことを１１日、正式に発表しました。
これによって、エドウインが青森県や秋田県など１３か所に持つ自社工場やおよそ２６００人の従業員の雇用、それに、エドウインのブランドは維持される見通しです。
（NHKニュース「伊藤忠がエドウイン支援発表」より 2014/03/11）
エドウインの負債総額500億円のうち、200億円は銀行が債務放棄するという。
エドウインの債務５００億円のうち、伊藤忠の負担分以外は、三菱東京ＵＦＪ銀行など取引銀行団が２００億円規模を債権放棄することで基本合意したという。
同社をめぐっては、豊田通商、アパレル大手ワールドも経営支援に名乗りをあげていたが、今年２月に伊藤忠が交渉の優先権を取得していた。
