Hanesbrands Inc. said yesterday that production has resumed at least partially at the three Haitian contract-sewing operations affected by the Jan. 12 earthquake.
The company said it has set up a staging operation in the Dominican Republic to supply food, water and basic necessities for the Haitian contract workers.
It also has donated $2.2 million worth of underwear to be distributed by CARE, a humanitarian-aid agency, and the Fashion Delivers Charitable Foundation Inc.
Production at a plant near the Dominican Republic was not affected by the earthquake.
The company expects to return to full pre-earthquake T-shirt production levels as soon as mid-February.
