Delta Galil Industries, Ltd., the global manufacturer and marketer of branded and private label apparel products for men, women and children, as well as leisurewear and activewear, has appointed former Tefron Ltd chief executive officer Gil Shimon as president of its Global Upper Market business segment. The segment is responsible for approximately $270 million and partners with leading global brands.
