BATEXPO 2011:  THE TWENTY YEARS OF SUCCESS

It is my immense pleasure to inform that the 22nd edition of the Bangladesh Apparel and Textile Exposition (BATEXPO) is going to take place from 10-12 December, 2011 at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center (BICC), Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. BATEXPO is one of the largest expositions in the Asia-Pacific region which is annually organized by BGMEA since 1989. On behalf of BGMEA. I cordially welcome all interested businessmen, stakeholders, well-wishers, and other interested groups and individuals both at home and abroad to participate and visit the exposition and enjoy the mega event.

 

With the passage of almost three decades the readymade garment (RMG) industry in Bangladesh has secured its own position in the global market with supremacy which is the largest foreign currency earner for the country in recent years. The resurgence of industrial growth is being the major forefront by the RMG sector. The industry has transfigured the country both at the economic and social front by pioneering industrialization, employment generation, engaging women in formal employment, poverty mitigation and thus meaningfully contributing to gender parity. “Made in Bangladesh” is now a symbol of quality and trust among the people across the globe and we are committed to strive for upholding the supremacy we achieved.   

Ever since BGMEA started to organize this mega event, BATEXPO has become a coalescence of the apparel manufacturers, buyers and business personalities. The three-day exposition holds informative seminars, fashion show and cultural programs to acquaint the visitors with our industry, economy, fashion and cultural heritage. I believe this year the BATEXPO would play an important role to sustain our growth and share, particularly in this situation of global economic crisis. As a matter of fact BGMEA has been relentlessly working to explore new and potential markets all over the world and we are expecting the presence of a good number of new buyers this year.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of BGMEA, I would like to congratulate all the team members for their hard work and co-operation to organize this mega exposition in such an impressive manner. 

I wish BATEXPO-2011 a great success and a bright future for the industry
