# Garment Sourcing Company & Buying House in Bangladesh | Surajmal > Source: https://surajmal.com/services/sourcing-bangladesh Services # Sourcing from _Bangladesh._ A buying-house desk for Bangladesh: development, vendor management, QC and consolidation, under one relationship. [Enquire→](/contact) How It Works What This Is Our Bangladesh desk puts the country’s ready-made-garment scale behind your programme: we develop and cost the styles, place and manage production across our audited network, in units built for high-volume knits and wovens, run the inspection and consolidate the shipment. We are present in Dhaka, working alongside the India operation so a mixed-origin programme stays one relationship. Buying House Ready-Made Garment Scale Vendor Management Dhaka Desk QC & Inspection Consolidation Compliance Who It’s For Long runs on repeatable constructions, planned around the capacity that suits them. Volume knits and basics, costed tightly around construction and quantity. Bangladesh capacity, with our own independent inspection sitting over it. For short runs across many styles, or craft-led product, our [India desk](/services/sourcing-india) often has more room to move. Send the range and we will compare both origins with you. What’s Included - ✓ Product development and costing against your brief - ✓ Vendor matching across our audited network - ✓ Sampling through to a sealed, signed-off standard - ✓ Order placement and critical-path management - ✓ Inline and final inspection to your agreed AQL - ✓ Compliance verification and lab testing where specified - ✓ Consolidation, documentation and export on your Incoterms Not included - – Duties, taxes and onward freight beyond the agreed Incoterm - – Your range and buying decisions; we develop, cost and place, you choose The same inspection protocol and reporting apply here as on our India programmes, so a mixed-origin range arrives to one standard, not two. How It Works ### 01. Range plan Share the range and volumes. We map them to the units built for that construction and quantity. ### 02. Develop & cost Styles developed and costed, with in-house design and sampling support. ### 03. Placement Production placed and managed across our audited network on one critical path. ### 04. QC & inspection Inline and final inspection to your agreed AQL, with lab testing where specified. ### 05. Consolidate Shipments consolidated, documented and exported on your Incoterms. What Bangladesh Is Good For ## Scale on volume, and a knit fabric base that keeps materials moving. Bangladesh earns its place where the run is long and the construction repeats. Production floors are larger than India’s more fragmented base, which is what makes the costing work on volume knits and basics. The knit sector also has its own fabric behind it, so the materials leg on a knit programme runs shorter than the country’s reputation for imported cloth suggests. ### Volume knits & basics T-shirts, polos, knit bottoms and repeatable wovens, run through units built for long runs. ### Larger floors Bigger production floors than the regional average, favouring fewer styles at higher quantities. ### Green factories Bangladesh holds more LEED-certified garment factories than any other country, which helps where a programme carries defined sustainability requirements. ### Knits local, wovens imported Knit fabric is largely made in-country. Woven fabric is mostly imported and carries the longer materials lead time, so we cost each programme on the cloth it needs. Safety And Compliance ## Factory safety here is independently inspected, and we hold a layer above it. Bangladesh runs its garment safety regime on independent factory inspection and remediation with published findings, which is more visibility than most sourcing countries give a buyer. We work inside that framework and add our own layer on top of it, because a certificate describes a factory on the day it was audited and your goods are made on every other day. ### RSC Factory safety inspection and remediation run through the Ready-Made Garment Sustainability Council, successor to the Bangladesh Accord’s inspection programme. ### Condition of placement Compliance status decides whether a unit is in our audited network at all. It is a condition, not something weighed against price. ### The same standard GOTS, OEKO-TEX, BSCI and ISO 9001 apply here exactly as they do on our India programmes. ### Our own inspection Independent of any factory certificate, our inspectors check the goods inline and again before shipment. Lead Times & Order Sizes 24 hours Enquiry answered with feasibility and an indicative cost. 4–10 days First samples out against an agreed brief. 35–90 days Bulk after approval, by construction and quantity. Volume-led Factory scale here favours longer runs than our India base. Knit programmes move quickly on materials because the fabric base is local. Woven fabric is mostly imported, so that leg runs longer than an India programme of the same construction. We build the difference into the schedule at costing, so it is not a surprise at shipment. Quality & Compliance Compliance is checked twice here: the safety and social auditing that decides whether a unit is in our network at all, and our own inspection of your goods regardless of what any certificate says. ### Fibre & materials GOTS · BCI · RCS 100 · OEKO-TEX · REACH · ZDHC ### Labour & social BSCI · WRAP · Sedex / SMETA ### Quality management ISO 9001 ### Verified by Bureau Veritas · Intertek · SGS [See every certification and its scope](/sustainability).

The [India desk](/services/sourcing-india) runs the same way, and mixed-origin programmes sit under one relationship. [Sourcing, India →](/services/sourcing-india) [Knitwear →](/products/knitwear) [Woven garments →](/products/woven) [Denim →](/products/denim) [Sportswear →](/products/sportswear) Common Questions What can you source from Bangladesh? + High-volume knits and wovens across garments, plus denim and sportswear. The country is strongest on repeatable constructions at quantity, and we place accordingly. How do Bangladesh and India compare? + Scale and unit cost on volume basics. Production units are larger, which suits fewer styles at higher quantities. India is the better answer for category breadth, craft techniques and shorter runs across more styles. How do you handle factory safety compliance in Bangladesh? + Factory safety inspection and remediation run through the Ready-Made Garment Sustainability Council, successor to the Bangladesh Accord’s inspection programme. Compliance status decides whether a unit is in our audited network at all, and our own inspectors check your goods on top of that. Is Bangladesh sourcing reliable given the industry’s history? + Yes. Since 2013 the industry has rebuilt around independent factory inspection and remediation under the RSC, and buyers now have far better visibility than they once did. On top of that framework, our own inspectors check your goods inline and before shipment, independent of any certifications held. Is the fabric made locally or imported? + It depends on the construction. Knit fabric is largely made in-country, which keeps the materials leg short on knit programmes. Woven fabric is mostly imported, so those run longer. We cost and schedule each programme on the cloth it needs. What order sizes suit Bangladesh? + Longer runs. Factory scale favours higher quantities across fewer styles than our India base does. Minimums are confirmed per style at enquiry, and for shorter runs across many styles we can cost an India programme alongside it. Can Bangladesh factories meet sustainability requirements? + Yes. Bangladesh holds more LEED-certified garment factories than any other country. Where you carry a sustainability mandate, we place to it. Do you consolidate orders from several Bangladesh factories? + Yes. Goods from multiple units are consolidated, documented and exported together on your Incoterms. How long does sampling take? + First samples are typically out within 4 to 10 days of an agreed brief, the same commitment as our India programmes. Enquiries are answered within 24 hours. Can you combine India and Bangladesh in one programme? + Yes, and it is common. Mixed-origin sourcing runs under a single relationship with one desk managing both, one inspection standard and consolidated shipments. Are you a sourcing agent or a manufacturer? + Neither term covers it. We are a vertically integrated textile export house, and this desk does both jobs at once: managed manufacturing, with design, sampling, lab testing and quality control in-house, and a buying-house desk that develops, places, inspects and consolidates. In Bangladesh the desk places across our audited network there. An agent hands you a factory and steps back. We carry the standard through to the shipment. Where do you export to? + Worldwide, on your Incoterms, with export documentation handled as part of the programme.
