Dominican free zones to invest in Haiti

Dominican free zone businessmen are making investments in Haiti free zone operations. Fernando Capell?n, of the large Grupo M, the largest textile manufacturing operation in the DR, says they expect to take advantage of Haiti’s trained personnel and unused export quotas to the US. He said that in some operations, they will be using Dominican materials to manufacture garment pieces. These will be cut in the DR, assembled and shipped from Haiti.
