Factory Capacity & Infrastructure at a Glance
Audited production data representing our apparel facility located in Mirpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Our 7 Specialized Production Departments
Every step of our value chain operates under standard operating procedures (SOPs) designed to guarantee international retail specifications.
Fabric Development & Circular Knitting
Our knitting setup produces high-quality circular knit fabrics engineered for exceptional hand-feel, recovery, and dimensional stability. We work directly with certified spinning mills to procure combed ringspun cotton, BCI cotton, and functional stretch blends.
CAD Pattern Engineering & Precision Cutting
Accurate apparel begins with flawless cutting. Every fabric lot undergoes a mandatory 24-hour tension-free relaxation protocol on spreading tables before cutting to eliminate shrinkage distortion. Our computerized CAD workstations optimize marker nesting to minimize wastage.
In-House Prototyping & Sampling Room
Bridging buyer design concepts into bulk-ready reality. Our dedicated sampling studio operates 25 specialized workstations to turn tech-packs and mood boards into tangible fit samples, size sets, and salesman samples with rapid speed.
Computerized Sewing & Assembly Lines
Our assembly floor is engineered according to lean manufacturing principles. Each sewing line is equipped with automatic thread trimming, pneumatic presser feet, and ergonomic workstations to ensure consistent stitch density (SPI) across thousands of units.
Embellishment: Printing & Computerized Embroidery
From delicate minimalist chest logos to oversized vintage distressed graphics, our embellishment wing provides vibrant, wash-durable screen prints and high-density 3D embroideries compliant with European chemical directives.
Garment Washing, Dyeing & Denim Wet Processing
We offer specialized garment wash and distress treatments for knitwear and denim. Our wet processing section utilizes Low-Liquor Ratio (LLR) washing machines connected to state-certified Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) to protect the environment.
Vacuum Steam Pressing, Hashima Needle Detection & Packing
The final touchpoint before shipment. Garments are hand-ironed on vacuum steam boards equipped with Teflon shoes to prevent fabric glaze. Every single carton is passed through Hashima 9-point calibrated metal detectors to guarantee absolute safety.
