RESOURCE HUB - 2018 < < ‘Automation’ and ‘Quality’ let Duerkopp Adler and PFAFF Industrial explore Bangladesh better than ever… June 2018 Apparel industry is on a rapid transformation. Brands, which until a decade back, used to give some relaxation to the manufacturers, have now become stricter and their adherence to compliance, high quality and fast delivery is pushing garment manufacturers to give up old methodologies. In such a scenario, the role of Duerkopp Adler and PFAFF Industrial cannot be neglected in the technological upgradation of Bangladesh as these German pioneers have been delivering innovative solutions in automated and engineered workstations to the country’s apparel industry. < < KDS Accessories well prepared for future challenges June 2018 In the last decade, much investment has been made to strengthen the accessory segment in Bangladesh and the local industry today is standing tall against the international competitors. In fact, they have taken a step forward aiming to be total solution providers against niche product categories that is the forte of the global brands. A frontrunner in this category, KDS Accessories has its job cut out to keep ahead of companies which are aiming for the same market positioning. << Bernd Bräuer Director (Sales), Duerkopp Adler 50 Apparel Online Bangladesh | January 2019 | www.apparelresources.com “With more than 150 years of experience in sewing automa- tion, companies trust us and our technol- ogy. Duerkopp Adler and PFAFF Industrial machines stand for quality, productivity and consistency and the progressive Ban- gladesh industry is, no doubt, embracing our offerings… I feel Bangladesh is not all about prices, it looks for services too… We are strong enough in services and this is why we have increased our sales and service force here in the country recently.” Debasis Daspal CEO, KDS Accessories “Many big corporates in Bangladesh that were earlier sourcing their trims and packaging require- ments from China are now looking to source locally, both to save time in the process, as also a few cents. In this changing scenario, we are open to do new products, which we are mostly seeing on the packaging side as presentation of a prod- uct on the shelves gains importance…The pace of growth may have slowed down, but the future is bright and I have no doubt that companies that are upfront in their approach, and are willing to go an extra mile to serve the buyer, will support the further growth of the industry in the years to come.”
