Alabama - Gildan-Prewitt has announced plans to relocate
around a third of its knitting machinery based at its Fort Payne, Alabama site
and all its remaining wet processing operations to Honduras.

The move, which Gildan said would help it remain more
competitive with imports from Asia, will result in the shutdown of operations
at the company?s C.S. Bell facility with around 130 jobs lost as a result.
