Progress Apparel Ltd, a woven pant exporter situated in Adamjee EPZ, Narayanganj would construct a cutting edge in-house washing plant out of the $1 million venture, as per a press explanation. The washing plant will be outfitted with cutting edge washing, drying, and hydro machinery selected for its proficient utilization of water and synthetics.
The Good Fashion Fund’s investment – which is organized through Progress Apparels’ holding organization in Hong Kong, PDS Ltd – is empowering the organization, as another player in the material area, to get to worldwide financing while advancing sustainable investments.
