HANOI - When Nguyen Thi Thu Huyen started work at the No. 40 Garment Factory, it was still producing boots and uniforms for the Vietnamese army, just as it had done during the Southeast Asian country’s long war with the United States.
Now the sprawling, Soviet-built complex on the outskirts of Hanoi has a different mission: churning out millions of units a year for global sportswear brands like Nike and the U.S. Olympic team, Team USA. At the height of the Vietnam War, the “X40” factory, as it had been code named by the Vietnamese defense ministry, was one of three factories producing uniforms for the North Vietnamese army and its Viet Cong guerrillas in the south.
Vietnam had already begun its “doi moi” process of reform at the time, but it was still under a U.S. trade embargo that would not be lifted until 1994.
