HanesBrands dedicated the startup of Hung Yen South, the company's third manufacturing center in Vietnam, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 21 attended by news media, Vietnam and U.S. government, community leaders, apparel industry guests, and company leaders. Among those representing Hanes were Javier Chacon, senior vice president, global operations, Roberto Mayr, vice president, Eastern Hemisphere operations, Ajay Godbole, manufacturing director, Asia operations, and Phan Quoc Tuan, Hung Yen plant manager.
"Making the investment to open this new manufacturing plant is a significant achievement in HanesBrands' continued growth in Vietnam," Javier told the assembled guests. "It represents the opportunity to conduct business in Vietnam and our long-term commitment here."
Hung Yen South has begun ramping up production of men's woven boxers and will soon start manufacturing bras as well. Once fully operational, the facility will have 6,000 employees.
The ribbon-cutting and associated announcement was covered by television, print and online news outlets across Vietnam.
Hung Yen South is located about 10 miles from the company's Hung Yen North manufacturing facilities. Both are located in Hung Yen province, just southeast of Hanoi in the northern part of the country.
Hanes began manufacturing operations in Vietnam in 2008 with the startup of Hung Yen North and manufacturing at the Phu Bai plant (located in the Phu Bai industrial zone in Thua Thien Hue province in central Vietnam, northwest of Danang). Both Hung Yen North and Phu Bai operations have been expanded since 2008.
Hanes had 2,200 employees in Vietnam at the end of 2008 and expects to have a projected 10,000 at the end of this year (making Vietnam roughly equivalent in employee count with both Honduras and El Salvador). In addition to the woven boxers and bras to be made at Hung Yen South, the company produces men's underwear bottoms and women's panties in Vietnam.
