South Korean apparel manufacturer Hansae Co. Ltd will locate its first US manufacturing operation in Greenfield North Business Park in Garner in North Carolina. The facility will focus on producing personal protective equipment (PPE) for the US market. It may expand to other products in the future depending on market conditions, vice president of strategic sales Hermann Chiu said.

“We look forward to commencing our operation in the last quarter of 2020. The business will be run under Hansae’s subsidiary AMP [Apparel Manufacturing Partners],” he was quoted as saying in a press release from the town’s administration.

Hansae will invest up to $2 million and initially employ eight to 10 people at its Garner location.

This project was made possible by the work of EDPNC, North Carolina State University’s College of Textiles, Wake County Economic Development, Garner Economic Development and Gregg Mason-Mason Properties.
