EXPORTER STRATEGY
DELTA GROUP ON TECHNOLOGICAL PATHWAY
Aims to become the
leader of Bangladesh
denim industry
In 2014, Bangladesh set RMG
exports target of US $ 50 billion to
be attained by 2021. However, with
the current resources, technology
imbibement and capacity building,
the garment export industry of
the country presently stands at US
$ 29.21 billion and the industry is
very sceptical about the fulfilment
of this target. The Delta Group,
I
n order to sustain and then
become profitable, the garment
industry needs to defy all the
conventional business practices and
old methodologies.The Delta Group,
a US $ 190 million group, is following
the same mantra as it has developed
itself as a composite group having
knitting, dyeing, finishing, sewing,
printing, embroidery and washing
units – all under a single roof. The
Group is already producing knitted
garments in its sister concern The
Delta Quality Fashions Ltd. whereas,
its highly automated denim factory
The Delta Quality Denims Ltd. will
become fully operational by June 2018.
According to Rupak Chakraborty,
Director (Operations & Marketing)
of both the companies, most of the
denim factories in the country are
old. “It’s tough for them to change
interiors, switch from manual
operations to automation and improve
the infrastructure substantially
in the same premises. But, we are
probably one of the few factories who
have laid the foundation of a whole
new automated denim set-up by
challenging ourselves,” shares Rupak.
With the installed technologies, Delta
has reduced human intervention,
salary burden and has improved the
flow of processes to a great extent.

vision forward by setting up new
garment factories, creating new
jobs and adopting automation.
