He requested the American clothing brand to collaborate with Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers to build their capabilities in producing garments which have high demand in the global market. “As Bangladesh is increasingly focusing on diversifying products and upgrading technologies, global buyers like Jordache have opportunity to work with the suppliers to develop innovative high-end products and source them. It would create a win-win situation for both sides,” he said.
