MANAGING DIRECTOR SQUARE GROUP Overcoming many hurdles the Bangladesh denim industry today has reached a stage that allows us to compete, not only with neighbouring countries, but also globally. We are in no way behind our nearest competitors and today, the way the industry has been growing, I am confident that soon Bangladesh will be established as a global player. I would say today that we have a bright future in front of us! Bangladesh Denim Expo is helping our mission to become the best denim resource in the World.
MR. SHAMS MAHMUD MANAGING DIRECTOR SHASHA DENIM LTD. Over the past years we have seen that Bangladesh Denim Expo is going from strength to strength. I want to mention especially that the Expo has played a tremendous role in strengthening denim as a subsector of the Bangladesh apparel industry. Bangladesh Denim Expo has become established as a one stop service; a one stop place where all the buyers are attending and all the stakeholders of the industry are converging together in a very nice set up. I would like to thank Mr. Mostafiz Uddin, the founder & CEO of Bangladesh Denim Expo for highlighting the enormous potential of the Bangladesh denim industry.

MANAGING DIRECTOR YKK BANGLADESH PTE LTD
A few years back we didn’t have a platform like Bangladesh Denim Expo. From what I can understand, Bangladesh Denim Expo is now developing neck and neck with other international denim fairs, such as Kingpins or Denim by PV. Those who are participating in the Expo are actually branding Bangladesh! Through the Expo we are able to meet with so many customers and show them our capabilities and newly developed capacities. Bangladesh Denim Expo made this possible.
This is the fourth time I have come to see the Denim Expo in Bangladesh. The Expo is very interesting for us as we always find an impression of the improvements in the denim market in Bangladesh. At Bangladesh Denim Expo, the exhibitors can showcase their innovation and development in the manufacturing of denim. Innovation is very important for the buyers and Bangladesh Denim Expo is promoting the denim industry of this country very efficiently.

ALICE TONELLO R&D DIRECTOR TONELLO SRL It is a great pleasure to be here at Bangladesh Denim Expo. The Expo is the right place for gaining connections, to see our customers and to share ideas about the denim market. For us at Tonello, it is very important to participate in Bangladesh Denim Expo, as many customers are here and it is the perfect environment for us to extend our network of connection within Bangladesh.
ROBERT HALLETT VICE PRESIDENT AMERICAN & EFIRD BANGLADESH LTD.
S I M P L I C I T Y I have been coming to Bangladesh for 12 years and I have seen the growth of the apparel industry and, in particular, the denim business in this country. For the denim business, Bangladesh is the preferred destination for American brands and retailers to come and source denim. A&E are very excited to be here and to participate in Bangladesh Denim Expo which we see as very important for the denim industry in the country.
JORD JUANI DIRECTOR- ASIA DIVISION JEANOLOGIA In my opinion Bangladesh Denim Expo is the best way to increase the perception and the level of the denim industry in the country. So, for me, this Expo is a must for all the denim enthusiasts and professionals in Bangladesh.
KUNAL KAPOOR COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR COATS BANGLADESH
S I M P L I C I T Y This is the second time Coats has been participating in the Denim Expo and we are very happy to be here. Bangladesh Denim Expo is a pioneering platform where buyers, sellers and all associated with the denim ecosystem in Bangladesh can come together. I think it is the perfect platform to ensure that the garment industry of Bangladesh, especially the denim sector, is able to flourish under the guidance of all the people professionals involved in the sector.

MR. LEO KOO
Bangladesh Denim Expo is a great platform for companies like us. The best part of the show is that we are meeting with so many clients with whom we usually meet at Kingpins. Soorty is a big company in Pakistan. To market ourselves this kind of platform is very useful. We are meeting with so many buyers, we are meeting with so many factories. It is good for fabric sales and it is good for the garment industry as a whole.
I am Leo from Prosperity Textile. I think this is a very good show in Bangladesh. In two days we have found a lot of opportunity and we inspire a lot of innovation. Being here I think we can create some more opportunity together.
MR. MARCO NAVA GLOBAL SALES DIRECTOR GARMON KEMIN TEXTILES SRL We have been participating in Bangladesh Denim Expo since the first edition. Our participation has helped develop our public relations with the Bangladesh denim industry.We meet all of our customers at the show and are able to meet with new prospective clients every year. Definitely being here and offering our new solutions every six months has helped us in growing our business in Bangladesh.

ANGELO LEANAGE MANAGING DIRECTOR AMERICAN & EFIRD BANGLADESH LTD. We have been participating at Bangladesh Denim Expo from its inception. I have seen all the Expos that have been organized here. What I have seen today is a major change in the apparel industry where denim is becoming one of the leading attractions and Bangladesh is becoming one of the top locations for denim manufacturing globally. In regards to the apparel industry in Bangladesh we see a lot of growth and we see a lot of potential in the country.

SHAFIUR RAHMAN COUNTRY MANAGER G-STAR RAW This initiative from Mr. Mostafiz Uddin, managing director of Denim Expert Ltd. and CEO and founder of Bangladesh Denim Expo is an excellent initiative. Attending Bangladesh Denim Expo young people in the industry can expand their network. They can share their knowledge with each other also. Through the Denim Expo everybody is expanding their network; they are connecting with new people not only in Bangladesh but also globally. At Bangladesh Denim Expo across the industry, from fabric, accessories, wash and chemical companies and dye-stuff suppliers: all are expanding their network.
COUNTRY MANAGER VF ASIA LTD By attending Bangladesh Denim Expo you can exchange information with all the relevant stakeholders in the industry. The event offers the opportunity to meet with different leading companies. I think it is a great forum for people in the apparel industry.
MR. ABU SYED MOHAMMAD TARIQUE DIRECTOR- ASIA DIVISION SHOPDIRECT I think Bangladesh Denim Expo has a great impact in the society and garment industry because this event actually helps the global apparel world to come to one place and see Bangladesh’s capabilities, especially products, fabrics and other accessories. On top of that, when we retailers come to Bangladesh Denim Expo, we see a lot of innovations, all of which helps Bangladesh to develop its denim industry.

TURKISH AMBASSADOR TO BANGLADESH REPUBLIC OF TURKEY I am glad to be at Bangladesh Denim Expo once again. Since 2015 I have visited many editions of the Expo. I am very glad to see the contribution of this event to the development of the denim industry in Bangladesh. With its joint effort I believe Bangladesh will become the number one denim manufacturer in the world.

DEPUTY HEAD OF MISSION EMBASSY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
This is a very new experience for me. I am very impressed about the level of production in Bangladesh and the exposure this industry is getting from Bangladesh Denim Expo. I am sure with the visit of foreigners and buyers it will help expose Bangladesh as a serious market for sourcing products in the textile industry and, notably, in the denim industry.
I think Bangladesh Denim Expo is a very good tool to demonstrate all the new development on denim. This is very interesting for all the stakeholders, especially for German companies, because they are very important buyers for the Bangladesh market. Germany is the second biggest export destination for Bangladesh in the whole world. Therefore, I am very happy that there are many German buyers are participating in the Denim Expo and see what possibilities there are in Bangladesh.
H.E. SHEIKH MOHAMMED BELAL AMBASSADOR BANGLADESHI EMBASSY IN THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS
S I M P L I C I T Y I have been here for the first time in this 9th iteration of Bangladesh Denim Expo. I am lucky to be here and witness a great effort to showcase the pro-development spirit of Bangladesh. Undoubtedly we have achieved a global standard in some sectors. I hope other people will come forward and follow the footmarks of Bangladesh Denim Expo.

Bangladesh should promote itself more effectively and efficiently in the market that it serves. Bangladesh Denim Expo really helps in doing so. I think this sets an example of how Bangladesh should be promoting itself in the world and shows how the country can express itself as an upcoming market and as an upcoming industry that will be able to service many more markets elsewhere in the world. So, thank you Bangladesh Denim Expo, you are doing a wonderful job!

I really happy to be here at Bangladesh Denim Expo, because I think they are doing a fantastic job, to let European clients understand how good is this country, to develop new products, to be able to use all the newest and the most advanced technology that can go really in the sustainable direction of denim washes. So I think Europe can think about how to use this country more in the future to develop product.

At Bangladesh Denim Expo, whatever Bangladesh is producing especially in thedenim sector- starting from fabrics, accessories, machineries; all are exhibited under one roof; all the visitors, buyers and manufacturers can come here. At this Expo all the exhibitors are top level. Bangladesh has already become the number one denim exporter to Europe and the third largest to the USA. I believe Bangladesh Denim Expo is contributing hugely in ever expanding export figure of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Denim Expo has a really nice vibe. The exhibitors seem very busy, with lots of visitors. I am impressed and I will definitely look to come back again. I have come here to see the new designs, styles and any new concepts for the denim market. To me Bangldesh Denim Expo is organized in a manner that allows visitors to learn about the new developments and trends available in the country.
MD. FAZLUL HAQUE MANAGING DIRECTOR STERLING GROUP
S I M P L I C I T Y Some of the biggest name in the global denim business are coming to Bangladesh Denim Expo.

So, participating in Bangladesh Denim Expo helps us to grow our business.
MR. NIKOLAOS DENESIDIS GARMENTS PROCESSING SPECIALIST
S I M P L I C I T Y Bangladesh, definitely the biggest market for denim sourcing is doing great! Thank you Bangladesh Denim Expo, you have exhibited the best of the industry and exposed the industry systematically to the international market.

This is basically what we are looking for: the image! I think that’s the power for a country and in this perspective we are not doing well. When your image is not good, it really affects the country in a lot of different negative ways. I think Bangladesh Denim Expo is playing a fantastic role in their efforts for the branding of Bangladesh.
