BANGLADESH

Nilorn’s factory in Bangladesh The garment and textile industry in Bangladesh has for a

long time been of high importance for the supply of goods all around the world. Due to this it is natural that we now

have an office and factory in this area. We have a multitude

of clients in all corners of the world and a presence in this important part of the textile industry is vital to the

continued development of our role as a deliverer of high quality merchandise.

It is a logical development for us to have our own factory in

an ever-growing market of textile and garment production.

Since we are part of the industry producing hangtags, packaging and other essentials for garments, Bangladesh is where we need to be. Many of our clients produce their

goods in Bangladesh and it is much easier for all parties

concerned if the production of hangtags and such are just a hop and a skip away from the garment making - instead of

on the other side of the world. When our own production is established in Bangladesh, time will be saved and we

will have a smoother and more efficient operation, which will benefit the end consumer in more ways than one.

It is a sound investment for us to have a factory in Bangladesh when you consider the predictions of a growing market in this country. Having a presence in this

market, we can more easily influence the work and the development of production in this region. Our factory is

a state-of-the-art facility when it comes to machinery and

conditions for the workers - something that will have a positive effect for all of our stakeholders.

drying/ finishing/ embroidery and an ­increasing trend of direct sourcing through local liaison offices.

The latest figures show that the industry generated USD 28.09 billion in export during the fiscal year 2015-2016

which was an approximate growth of 10% in comparison to the previous year.

is ongoing and new markets are being considered - for example Russia, South Africa and Brazil. Developments in the arena of international trade policy make for higher

expectations when it comes to further opportunities for

market growth in Bangladesh. The simplification of GSP rules of origin is a positive sign and the opportunities in growth look very promising.
