PIONEERING THE FUTURE
Anowara Knit Composite Limited
A
nother company to watch out
for at the Apparel Sourcing
Week is Anowara Knit Composite
Limited. The company is the sister
concern of Anowara Group. It
manufactures high-quality men’s
T-shirts, polo shirts and tank
tops. At the event, the company is
planning to exhibit a good mix of its
products that are an embodiment
of innovative designs and are
sustainable and cost-effective
at the same time. Anowara Knit
Composite, which has an annual
turnover of US $ 70 million, has
been recognised by the Government
of Bangladesh as a pioneer in the
Best Workers’ Friendly Knitwear
Industry in the field of export-
oriented readymade garments in
the country.
Housed with modern dyeing and
knitting units, its factories are
situated at Mulayed, Mauna,
Sreepur, Gazipur of Bangladesh

monthly production power of
Anowara Knit Composite is 4.5
million pieces T-shirts and half
million pieces polo shirts. Already

in France, Germany, South Africa,

Canada, Belgium, Spain, Portugal
and Italy, the company sees the
Apparel Sourcing Week, India as
the pertinent door to enter the
Indian retail market. “There are
many positive growth drives in
the Indian retail sector, especially
in fashion. This includes strong
economic growth, a high share of
private consumption in the total
GDP of the country, merchandise
consumption-friendly demographics
and a dramatic increase in
ownership of smartphones, leading
to extremely low-cost data access
of internet. Several challenges,
however, remain both for the Indian
and international retailers/brands,”
the company believes. The Group
started its journey in 1990 as a
fabric manufacturer with a small
scale of production at Narayanganj,
Bangladesh under the leadership of
its experienced entrepreneurs, with
an aim to become the trendsetter
as it is today. The company has
expanded dramatically over the
past two decades and secured
a remarkable distinction as
an exporting company in the competitive global market. It has six
manufacturing units at present and it
has expanded its capacity, developing
a skilled workforce of 5,000.
