VIETNAM: New Textile Mills Create 700 Jobs
Up to textile 700 jobs are set to be created at three huge new dyeing, spinning and weaving mills in Vietnam's Hung Yen province. Work on the $30 million project got underway this week and is expected to be completed by the second and third quarters of 2003. Once complete, the dyeing mill will have an annual capacity of 20 million metres of cloth; the spinning mill 9,000 tonnes of fibre; and the weaving mill 12 million metres of denim.
