Bangladeshis to take part in Asia Apparel Expo-Berlin

BSS, Dhaka :
In its effort to boost garment export to German market, Bangladesh will take part in a three-day ‘Asia Apparel Expo-Berlin’ slated to kick off at Messe Berlin Exhibition Ground, Germany on February 18.
Under the aegis of the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), a total of 20 companies under Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) and Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA) will attend the expo.
Mega Expo (Berlin) Ltd, a sister company of Mega Expo Ltd, a leading Hong Kong-based trade exhibitions organizer, is arranging the event.
An EPB official told BSS Monday that this fair will create a unique scope for Bangladeshi apparel makers and exporters to showcase their readymade garment (RMG) items before the potential buyers, which will eventually help boost Dhaka-Berlin trade.
“The Asia Apparel Expo-Berlin would prove to be highly beneficial for the country’s multi-billion dollar garment industry,” he added.
Gazi Mohammad Monsur, Managing Director of Funny Sweater Ltd, said, he is taking part in the expo as he wants to come out of buying house’s dependence for getting export orders.
