There are also 7 important reasons that Bangladesh is a "must" when it comes to buying for those in the garments businesses.1) GSP: Bangladesh Provide Certificate of GSP form "A" for the customer of European (EEC) Countries.2) Creativity: Bangladeshi's have a history of being innovative and creative, generating a strong and steady flow of new ideas, concepts and designs that set the trends and fashions worldwide.3) Know-how: In Bangladesh you will not only find imagination and creativity, but also the knowledge and the know-how that makes the Bangladeshi garments technician and suppliers among the most skilled and versatile in the world.4) Versatility: Bangladeshi manufacturers have developed an extremely flexible production system, where low quantities and competitive prices are not a contradiction.5) Quality/price ratio: The care that goes into Bangladeshi products of all types leads to a quality that is almost unbeatable. When you know which manufacturers to turn to that quality comes at a price that will surprise you. (See 2nd case history).6) Delivery lead time: To make the combination of low quantities, high quality and competitive prices even more attractive, the delivery lead time of Bangladeshi manufacturers is considerably shorter than anywhere else in the world. This allows you to make up-to the minute changes in production, lowering your risk as you stay on top of market changes.7) Product development and improvement: The design talent and know-how of Bangladeshi manufacturers is available to help you improve and modify your products instead of merely reproducing them, as manufacturers in other parts of the world would do.At MAHATEX LIMITED , we have the intimate knowledge and the experience to help you make the most of the creativity, flexibility and quality of the best Bangladeshi manufacturers.Try us outThere are two simple ways you can do try our services.
