The 7th edition of the Bangladesh Denim Expo will focus on transparency of the supply chain to show the buyers and consumers where and how the apparel is being produced. The seventh edition of the Bangladesh Denim Expo will be held on November 8 and 9, 2017 at the International Convention City Bashundhara, Dhaka.
The demand for transparency in the textile and garment supply chains is growing. As a result, “Transparency” will be at the heart of the new edition with a series of actions and events that will let people know about the manufacturing process, and the organizer. It will help visitors as well as buyers to know the whole process of manufacturing a clothing product through a 3D show.
Transparency means people know who makes the products – from who stitched them right through to who dyed the fabric and who farmed the cotton, the expo organizer explained. When companies are working in a transparent way, this also implies openness, communication and accountability across the supply chain and with the public too, it added. This exhibition will offer a unique panel of companies exhibiting their top products and best practices centred around the main theme of the Expo, representing the full denim supply chain.
“The vision of Bangladesh Denim Expo is to make Bangladesh a sourcing hub by creating a multinational gathering, exposing new business horizons and greater corporate opportunities for the entire denim value chain as well as uplifting the country’s image to the world,” Bangladesh Denim Expo Founder and CEO, Md. Mostafiz Uddin.
In a World, where ethics and responsibilities are currently questioned, the origin and story behind products are key. Transparency also means bringing in the issues of workers’ rights, well-being and working conditions under monitoring and accountability, said Mostafiz.
In the upcoming edition, a total of 58 exhibitors from across the world have already confirmed their participation. Of the total visitors, 40 are from foreign countries, while 18 are from Bangladesh. The international denim exhibition in Dhaka keeps growing in numbers and quality of exhibitors, providing a unique insight into Bangladesh denim, for a new edition that is expected to unveil the secrets of the industry.
Among them, the Expo is proud to announce that the four biggest denim garments manufacturers of Bangladesh in terms of export volume have joined the fair for the November edition: Pacific Jeans, Ananta, Bitopi and Dekko. These four brands are also among the front-runners in Bangladesh’s denim market for what concerns innovation and adoption of sustainable practices.
