US circular knitters Culp Inc. has increased capacity at its new cut and sews facility in Haiti.
Reporting a net loss for its first quarter of 2023, Iv Culp, President and Chief Executive Officer of Culp, Inc., said that the facility was now fully staffed, with its weekly production output increasing as its employees gain more training and experience. “As a company, we are enthusiastic about growing our near shore capacity in Haiti, with two facilities for cut and sewn mattress covers and one facility for cut and sewn upholstery kits. We believe this platform provides our customers with the agility and value they need for their business,” he said.
For its first quarter, net sales at Culp were $62.6 mn, down 24.6 percent compared to the prior-year period, with mattress fabrics sales down 31.8 percent and upholstery fabrics sales down 16.9 percent compared with the first quarter of last year.
