Yes. There are a lot of textile operations there and they are starting to manufacture electronics as well. Significant investment into this infrastructure (industrial parks, etc) went in after the earthquake.

There was significant investment and most of that has lead to very little. There are efforts recently trying to do more complicated textile manufacturing but I have heard that factory owners aren't interested in doing more than simple things. Probably for a variety of reasons including lack of skilled workers, training, etc. The only electronics I have heard about (I live in Haiti) is Surtab (http://surtab.com/).
