Victor Innovatex acquires Quaker Fabric's buildings

FALL RIVER, Mass. -- Victor Innovatex Inc., a textile manufacturer in Quebec, says it has acquired the bankrupt Quaker Fabric Corp.'s buildings and equipment and plans to hire at least 100 people as it reopens Quaker's shuttered plant in Fall River. Quaker fired about 900 people, including 62 Rhode Island residents, when it closed in July.
