A&E Celebrates Completion of 28th Manufacturing Operation

DONG NAI PROVINCE, VIETNAM-Thread manufacturer and a portfolio company of Elevate Textiles, American & Efird (A&E) opens its 28th global manufacturing facility in Vietnam.

A&E says its new manufacturing location allows the company to produce thread products sustainably. The facility is also positioned to provide expanded services and regional support for apparel, footwear, handbags, and other sewn products in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, according to the organization.

“Vietnam is an important country for the textile and apparel sewn industry,” says A&E president Chris Alt. “It is the second-largest exporter of apparel to the United States and one of the largest global producers of apparel and non-apparel products. Setting up in Vietnam with manufacturing is very strategic to our future growth.”
