Nextil has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the shareholders of Texas-based US company Isavela, with a view to acquiring a 51% majority stake in the company.
As reported by the company in a statement to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) on Wednesday, Isavela specialises in the design, manufacture, and marketing of compression and post-operative garments for the medical sector, operating in the high value-added “medical garments” segment.
Specifically, the company develops textile solutions that require premium elastic fabrics, high-quality standards, traceability and regulatory compliance, as well as close collaboration with hospitals, clinics and healthcare professionals, mainly in the US.
At present, Isavela generates recurring revenues of more than 10 million dollars (8.6 million euros), with EBITDA of over 3 million dollars (2.6 million euros), reflecting a specialised, profitable business model with high recurrence.
Thus, the potential integration of Isavela would enable Nextil to complete the value chain in the medical segment, from fabric development through to the finished garment, drawing on its international industrial platform and its expertise in management, innovation and sustainability.
Following the transaction, Isavela will continue to operate independently under the leadership of its current executive team, maintaining its identity, culture, and specialisation, while benefiting from Nextil’s industrial, technological, and commercial support to accelerate its expansion in the United States and other international markets.
The agreement provides for a flexible payment structure, combining an initial cash payment and a deferred component, which may be settled in cash or in Nextil shares, at Nextil’s discretion. The MoU also includes a future option to acquire 100% of Isavela, within a timeframe agreed by the parties, with the aim of supporting the project’s growth and maximising joint value creation in the medium and long term.
Likewise, the agreement establishes a joint work period to carry out due diligence, draw up the business plan and negotiate the final agreements.
“Isavela is a company with an excellent position in the medical and post-operative sector, an exceptional team and a solid business model,” said Nextil Group, stressing that this agreement enables it to advance in a strategic segment, integrate the entire value chain and strengthen its presence in the US with a long-term vision, as it has “great ideas for product, market and design development.”
Furthermore, the company highlighted that this agreement forms part of Nextil’s strategic plan, which continues to actively analyse new opportunities for inorganic growth, especially in high value-added segments with strong potential for international expansion.
Lastly, the company stated that it will promptly inform the market of any relevant developments relating to this transaction and to the rest of the group’s strategic initiatives.

The Conference Board (TCB) Leading Economic Index (LEI) for the United Kingdom edged down by 0.1 per cent in October 2025 to 74.1 (2016=100), marking a second consecutive monthly decline after a similar fall in September. As a result, the UK LEI contracted by 0.8 per cent over the six-month period from April to October 2025.
The UK Leading Economic Index fell 0.1 per cent in October 2025, extending its decline and signalling continued weakness in forward-looking indicators.
Over six months, the LEI contracted 0.8 per cent, though less sharply than earlier in the year.
Meanwhile, the Coincident Economic Index rose marginally, but its six-month growth slowed sharply, indicating softer underlying economic momentum.
While this indicates continued softening in forward-looking economic signals, the pace of decline was notably slower than the 1.5 per cent contraction recorded between October 2024 and April 2025, suggesting some moderation in downside momentum, TCB said in a release.
In contrast, the Conference Board Coincident Economic Index (CEI) for the UK rose by 0.1 per cent in October 2025 to 108.1 (2016=100), reversing a 0.1 per cent decline in September. Despite this monthly improvement, overall growth in current economic activity remained subdued.
The CEI increased by just 0.2 per cent between April and October 2025, well below the 1 per cent expansion seen in the previous six-month period from October 2024 to April 2025.

Combining Treasury Department data on the amount of tariff revenue collected across the first ten months of Trump’s term (February-November 2025) with independent private sector estimates of the per cent of each tariff dollar that is paid by American consumers, the Committee found that American consumers paid in total nearly $160 billion in tariff costs during the period.
American families have already paid nearly $1,200 each in tariff costs since President Donald Trump took office, according to estimates presented in a new report by the Joint Economic Committee (JEC)-Minority.
If monthly tariff costs remain as high as they were in November over the next 12 months, families will pay an average of $2,100 per year due to tariffs, it noted.
“While President Trump promised that he would lower costs, this report shows that his tariffs have done nothing but drive prices even higher for families,” said Senator Maggie Hassan, ranking member of the Committee.
“At a time when both parties should be working together to lower costs, the President’s tax on American families is simply making things more expensive,” he noted in a release.
This tax on American consumers is already creating significant challenges for families, and studies suggest that families will pay an even greater share of tariff costs in the future, the report found.
If monthly tariff costs remain as high as they were in November over the next 12 months, families will pay an average of $2,100 per year due to tariffs, it added.
