DBL Group, one of the largest and 100% export oriented vertical knit garments and textiles manufacturers in Bangladesh, is to continue its cooperation with Swiss knit fabric finishing machinery manufacturer Santex of Switzerland, in order to achieve its goal of becoming the country’s largest vertically integrated producer by 2016. With dyeing and finishing capacity of more than 50 tones per day, the company aims to rise to 100 tonnes per day by 2016.
Some of the fabrics produced by the company include single jersey, pique, fleece, terry, rib and interlock, made from fibres like cotton, viscose, polyester, rayon and elastane. DBL Group has strong business relations with the world famous clothing brands like H&M, Walmart, George, Esprit, Puma and others.
Modern investment plan
The cooperation between DBL Group and Santex goes back to 2001 when Santex delivered the first Santashrink and Santastretch Compactor for tubular form finishing.
Since then Santex has become a strategic partner for the finishing of knitted fabrics. In 2013 Santex also delivered two Santashrink Progress, six chambers, with Double Pad and Pin Frame for knitted fabrics in open width form.
The project was guided via Santex agent in Bangladesh – Aamra resources. This is the first phase of an extended expansion of DBL Group as part of the modern investment plan in the Color City project.
Excellent performance
“The decision to buy again Santex was due to the excellent performance of Santashrink, especially lower energy consumption compared with the competition. Furthermore steaming and vibration chamber give a better relax and shrink results, quality is a major issue for DBL,” said Anwarul Azim, Technical Director of DBL Group.
During a recent ceremony in the head office of DBL Group in Dhaka, the whole management team under the leadership of Managing Director M. A. Jabbar, received an original Swiss bell from the president of Santex AG as a memento for the excellent relationship between the two companies.
