Why Central America is Central to Hansae's Multi-Country Manufacturing Strategy
The Western Hemisphere is heating up as a sourcing destination, as American companies seek out production closer to home. Nearshoring ticks numerous boxes for brands. Firstly, it shortens lead times, enabling quicker replenishment and allowing for more responsive production runs. By reducing the distance that goods must travel, importers simultaneously minimize logistics and transportation risks. Additionally, working with nearby partners in similar time zones improves collaboration. For American brands, one of the key nearshoring regions is Central America, which is covered by the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR). Per the United States Fashion Industry Association's 2024 Benchmarking Report, 52 percent of companies said they planned to expand sourcing from CAFTA-DR member countries in the next two years, up from 40 percent in 2023. More from Sourcing Journal Jeanologia Bridges Design and Manufacturing in Miami How TENCEL™ Lyocell Fibers with Micro Technology Provide Premium Comfort INTERFILIERE SHANGHAI'S Silk Zone to Boost Understanding of Elegant Yet Versatile Material Responding to this increasing interest, textile and garment manufacturing group Hansae has made Central America a key investment area. Headquartered in South Korea, the company has factories in eight countries, including Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Haiti. Hansae is continuing to enhance its facilities in the region to better serve Western Hemisphere customers with more capacity, verticality and technology. 'Through strategic investments and operational upgrades in Nicaragua and El Salvador, Hansae is further strengthening its position as a trusted manufacturing partner for leading U.S. brands,' said Jun Chung, vice president of strategy and planning at Hansae. Hansae's longest foothold in Central America has been Nicaragua, which it entered in 1998. Expanding its capacity in the country, Hansae will be adding 60 sewing lines to its plant in SEBACO by the second quarter of 2026. A key focus within Hansae SEBACO is automation. The facility leverages technology and innovations from Hansae's factories across the globe, particularly Vietnam. In addition to automated sewing and cutting machines, the plant incorporates automated hanger systems, guided vehicles, box-making machines and box-folding machines for efficiency. Further streamlining production, the SEBACO plant has a partner print mill in the same complex as the garment factory, allowing high-quality embellishments like printing, dyeing and embroidery to be added to garments on site. Although the infrastructure for embellishments is developing in Central America, capacity remains tight and certain specialized capabilities such as flocking and multi-layered screen printing are still largely concentrated in Asia. With this co-located print mill, Hansae is helping to expand the capabilities available in Nicaragua and the region. While Hansae has been in Nicaragua the longest, the company's youngest base in the region is in El Salvador. Established in 2024, the group's presence in the country spans an owned facility with 22 sewing lines and a partnership with an outsourcing factory in the Sam-Li Industrial Zone, which has 25 lines. Hansae had multiple reasons for entering the nation. 'El Salvador offers excellent logistics connectivity, including a regional airport hub, and it benefits from a strategic partnership with the national investment agency,' said Chung. 'With a growing economy and improving infrastructure, El Salvador presents strong synergy potential for future verticalization and sustainable manufacturing investment.' At a country-wide level, El Salvador is also undergoing reforms. President Nayib Bukele—who took office in 2019 and was re-elected in 2024—has cracked down on crime and gang violence. Despite some controversy surrounding the methods used, they have resulted in extreme reductions in violent crimes, with annual reported homicides declining from over 1,000 in 2021 to 114 in 2024. Another attraction for El Salvador is favorable duty rates, since the nation has not been a target for the Trump administration's widespread reciprocal tariffs. Compared to heftier duties placed on some nations' U.S.-bound exports, El Salvador-origin goods are only subject to the baseline 10 percent tariff. Hansae's latest investments in Central America complement its wider Western Hemisphere expansion. Adding verticality, Hansae acquired California-based fabric mill Texollini last year. With capabilities including in-house knitting, research and development, dyeing, printing and finishing, the Long Beach mill will provide synthetic fabrics for Hansae's activewear, intimates and swimwear manufacturing in the Western Hemisphere. In other vertical moves, Hansae linked up with Imperial Group in Guatemala to provide a pipeline of locally sourced textiles for its factories in the region. Additionally, Hansae will be opening a factory in Michatoya Industrial Park in Guatemala in the third quarter of 2026, growing its production hubs in the region. 'Hansae continues to expand its multi-country manufacturing model, anchored in regional vertical capabilities and innovation-led investments,' said Chung. 'With ongoing investments in automation, embellishment and synthetic fiber integration, Hansae is building the foundation for its next phase of competitive manufacturing leadership.'

Closer, Faster, Smarter: How Nearshoring Is Reshaping the Future of U.S. Denim
'I don't know the detriments of not producing domestically. It is the only reason the brand exists,' said Carrie Eddmenson, the brand creator of Nashville-based Imogene + Willie. 'Made in the USA' is deeply woven into Imogene + Willie's DNA, shaping its design choices, guiding its merchandising, and serving as the narrative thread that continues to resonate with consumers. However, co-founders Carrie and Matt Eddmenson originally launched the brand 16 years ago as a means of survival. More from Sourcing Journal Download SJ Denim's "Made in America" Issue Why Central America is Central to Hansae's Multi-Country Manufacturing Strategy MarkWest Denim Enters the Western Market with Saddle-Tested Jeans 'We came from the world of domestic manufacturing, and we were victims, I would say, of the demise of manufacturing and production stateside,' she explained. 'We started the company to at least do our part to rebirth that culture.' The men's and women's label is one of the few remaining denim-focused brands committed to large-scale U.S. manufacturing—a group that continues to shrink due to cost, demand and limited access to domestic suppliers. Increasingly, brands are looking for other resources in the Western hemisphere. At Kingpins New York, representatives from brands and mills discussed the benefits and challenges of domestic, the complexity of the denim supply chain and the necessity of adaptive strategies—even if that means crossing borders. Artistic Milliners' vision for nearshoring in the Americas is becoming a reality. Since 2020, the company has established SFI and Star Fades Studio in California and the SFI factory in Guatemala. In June, the Pakistani vertical denim manufacturer opened AM Mexico, a denim production facility in Parras, Mexico. Clients are encouraged to source fabrics from regional mill partners like Cone Denim—which is just 200 yards away—so that fabrics can stay local and product development can be sped up. As a multi-country and multi-category company, Melissa Balasa-Flottman, VP of global innovation and design, said Artistic Milliners can help most U.S. brands find the right nearshoring solution. 'Everyone needs the ability to test, react and learn from their customers,' she said. Cone has large customers that it services out of both hemispheres with factories in Mexico and China, and both have advantages and disadvantages. The company collaborates closely with clients to identify and implement the best solutions for their specific needs. For instance, Steve Maggard, Cone Denim president, said the needle and laundry cost is lower in Asia, but there's less flexibility and purchasing decisions must be made further in advance. A client may produce 50-60 percent of a long-running, stable program in Asia and respond to what's selling with a smaller percentage of orders from Mexico. It helps neutralize risk. By servicing a portion of orders from Cone's Mexican facilities, clients pay more, but because of the flexibility and the ability to change silhouette, sizing, wash and act on trends closer to market—they have fewer empty shelves. 'Mexico is not the cheapest. China is not the cheapest,' Maggard said. 'For us to be viable and have people willing to pay a little bit higher price, we have to adjust our minimums. We have to be less stringent on and more flexible on the types of orders we're going to take and the amount of style changes that we're willing to make in order to service our customers' Smaller brands, however, often lack the comfort or experience to operate across multiple countries. Though some of the processes—like navigating customs and understanding government protocols—involve trial and error, Maggard said Cone's expertise allows it to anticipate pitfalls and manage the complexities on behalf of its customers. To reduce risk for its customers, the mill has implemented third-party audits such as the Higg Index, Oritain, and Bluesign. According to Maggard, these well-recognized certifications simplify the onboarding process for brands by minimizing the due diligence required when integrating Cone's supply chain. Maintaining a global footprint is a smart business strategy, especially in a time of economic uncertainty worldwide. Unstable governments, massive fluctuations in currency and infrastructure such as strikes at ports are all factors to consider for choosing a sourcing destination, he added. Cone's goal is to maintain a flexible supply chain so that it can pivot and offer options to our customers to avoid a 'catastrophic failure.' Additional partnerships with factories in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Egypt support this effort. Even when they're owned by the same company, transitioning to factories in different regions comes with special considerations. The dye formula may be same, but there are differences in water hardness and minerals. One plant may pull water from a lake, another from a well. Duplications may require some adjustments in the laundry, but Maggard said Cone's technical team has built up expertise on what to anticipate and achieve the desired styles and shades. Facing reality While Eddmenson names control, partnership, flexibility, negotiation and constant connection to suppliers as key benefits of domestic production, she strongly believes in the strength of Imogene + Willie's story. 'The heart of the product is most important. The customer understanding the product is most important, the customer feeling good in the product is most important,' she said. Challenges persist, but over the years, Imogene + Willie has found it increasingly manageable to produce in the U.S., especially as meeting fabric and factory minimums became easier with growth. 'But we also, admittedly, probably live in a bubble when it comes to that,' Eddmenson said, adding that there's a deeply rooted determination in the U.S. to make things work against the odds. However, the brand is not blind to current challenges facing the denim industry, particularly the lack of sources for U.S.-made denim textiles. 'We probably need to pay attention more to lead times and trends, but we just haven't built the business that way,' Eddmenson said, adding that a lot of the considerations mass brands must contend with each season is foreign to Imogene + Willie. 'We're opening our minds and our hearts to new regions for fabric,' she said. At the end of this complex supply chain is a customer that still wants cheap jeans. Regardless of how authentic the story is or the efforts made to produce jeans in the U.S. or nearby countries, Maryellen Ryan, a consultant with over 30 years in the apparel industry, says the average mass-market consumer still won't be willing to pay the premium 'They're not going to pay what we would need to charge,' Ryan said, adding that consumers need to be educated on the value of the garment. 'I would love to see production come back to the States…but unfortunately it boils down to price,' she said.
