Compagnie Developpement Industriel (Codevi) is a partner free zone that Grupo M, the largest Dominican free zone conglomerate, operates in Haiti. The factory employs 3,200 Haitians.
Listin Diario reports that it is currently the largest single private employer of Haitians, contributing to social stability in the region.
"Codevi plans to increase jobs to 15,000 in the next five years, while creating a further 5,000 in its installations in the DR," its president Fernando Capellan told the Listin. He said that Codevi was a twin factory operation, working with factories in the DR.
Capellan mentioned that the implementation of the Hope II Act, a US government initiative, and co-production with the DR has created a future for the project, benefiting both countries.
"We are committed to the future of the industry and will continue contributing to the development of the economic model of both countries," said Capellan.
Codevi is a 300,000 square foot operation where the Levi Strauss & Co (Levi's Brand and Dockers), Hanesbrands, Carhartt, Vanity FAir, Nautica and VF Jeanswear (Wrangler & Lee) brands are produced.
