TEXTILE and clothing firm CDW International saw its after-tax loss climb a further 189.74 per cent to $41.52 million for the year to March 31, as bad weather delayed construction of a new factory and recession continued to curb sales in Britain and the United States. Losses per share were almost trebled to 12.1 cents, from 4.2 cents in the same period last year. Company secretary Laurence Fong said that although the new factory had been up and running since February, it was difficult to foresee any pickup until overseas markets improved.
