"HanesBrands is using cotton yarn spun made from U.S.-grown cotton by its partner Parkdale Mills America. HanesBrands is using the yarn to make cotton fabric in its large textile manufacturing plants in El Salvador and the Dominican Republic. The company is using the fabric to make the masks to specification in company-owned sewing facilities in El Salvador, Honduras and the Dominican Republic. The textile and sewing plants are being converted from manufacturing of T-shirts, underwear, socks and fleece sweatshirts/sweatpants.
HanesBrands is one of the largest producers of basic apparel in the world, and unlike most apparel brands, the company self-manufactures the significant majority of its products.
In addition to Parkdale Mills America, HanesBrands is working closely with Fruit of the Loom, SanMar, Beverly Knits, the National Council of Textile Organizations, and other apparel companies to share product specifications and patterns for the FDA-approved masks."
Your response to me appears to be a press release from the company touting its operations. What really matters in this instance is —
1). How many is the company making?
2). When will they be delivered?
3). To whom will they be delivered?
4). Who pays for the masks?
What counts isn’t capability or activity. What counts is results, particularly results measured against commitments. We have none of the information that really matters.
