The Palmiers, a USD 8.5 million domestic private investment was completed 10 months ago. H&H expects to spend a little over half that amount to complete its installations. When fully operational the 2 plants will employ 3000.
Workers at H&H textiles will join 1600 already employed in two nearby Palm Apparel plants under Alain Villard’s leadership. A total then of 4600 workers will earn about USD 1 million every month, at current wage rates.
This will derive from export to the US, exempted of duty because of HOPE-HELP and CBTPA. Much of the wages will be spent in the Thor/Dikini community where nearly every worker resides. There will not be much money spent on petroleum, however. For the 70% women workforce, home is but a short walk away.
