Coats to open state of the art zips factory in Chittagong
Coats, one of the leading industrial thread and consumer textile crafts companies, has announced the opening of a state-of-the-art zips factory in Chittagong, on the eve of completing 25 years of operations in Bangladesh.
The new zips factory will open by 2015 and is being established in response to the growing demand from global consumer apparel manufacturing brands in Bangladesh. The new factory will create over 100 new jobs locally, and over time, will manufacture the full offering of zips, the company said in a statement.
Paul Forman, the CEO of Coats said, “Coats is extremely proud of its world class operation in Bangladesh and the support and relationship with our joint venture partner. Our business has seen significant growth and development, particularly in the last few years, and the opening of our new world class zips factory is a demonstration of our commitment to an ever-growing presence here.”
The readymade garment (RMG) industry has been the mainstay of Bangladesh’s economic growth. By 2004, garment exports had grown to US$ 6.4 billion and the RMG sector employed 2 million people. This year exports are expected to reach over $25 billion and employment will reach over 4 million people.
