Gloria Jeans urged to increase sourcing garments from Bangladesh

Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) president Faruque Hassan has urged Gloria Jeans to consider expanding its sourcing of garments from Bangladesh, especially high-value and non-cotton items.

Faruque made the call when Moyeen Ahmed, regional general manager for Bangladesh and India at Gloria Jeans, paid a courtesy call on Faruque Hassan at the BGMEA head office in the capital.

Gloria Jeans, a prominent Russian high street retail giant, has been actively sourcing garments from Bangladesh, reports BSS.

During the meeting, they discussed various mutual interests, with a focus on strengthening the collaborative relationship between Gloria Jeans and the Bangladeshi garment industry, said a press release.

Faruque provided an insightful overview of the initiatives of Bangladesh's garment industry to enhance manufacturing capabilities, particularly in the production of high-end products such as manmade fiber and technical textile-based garments.

He highlighted the ongoing efforts of BGMEA to promote eco-friendly processes and the adoption of a circular economy model in the RMG industry of Bangladesh.
