Ethiopia’s three industrial parks, Hawassa, Mekelle and Kombolcha, located in southern and northern Ethiopia built as part of its efforts to become Africa’s manufacturing hub have started to attract renowned export-oriented foreign companies to Africa’s textile and apparel production setting.
The Chinese-built Hawassa park, some 275 km south of the capital Addis Ababa, considered as Ethiopian flagship industrial park has already started bringing in hard currency. Among the companies that have started their production on its premises is the Hong Kong-based TAL Apparel.
