Eagle K Wear has become eligible for ERDF funds to invest in a €150,000 internationalisation project, Parliamentary Secretary Jason Azzopardi said during a visit.

The company, he said, will be getting 50 per cent of the funds required for the project from the ERDF. The project will help it to penetrate new markets included in the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates, in North Africa and the United Kingdom.

Dr Azzopardi said the company started up in Malta in 1958 when the island was a colony. Following several renewal processes, it was now competing enthusiastically in the reality of an independent Malta, which was an EU state.

Eagle K-Wear produces clothing and uniforms. It employs 35 people full timers, the equivalent of 50 a day, when including the part timers.

Through the ERDF funds, the company will be employing more people in the coming weeks.
