20 Bangladeshi cos showcase textile expertise at Texworld Paris 2025
Bangladesh has officially landed on the global sustainable fashion stage with 20 leading textile and apparel manufacturers showcasing their innovation, ethical production, and green manufacturing capabilities at Texworld, Apparel Sourcing & Leatherworld Paris 2025, which opened on Spetember 15 at the Paris–Le Bourget Exhibition Centre.
Running through September 17, the 57th edition of this premier global sourcing fair brings together over 1,300 exhibitors from 35+ countries, including textile powerhouses like China, India, Turkey, and Pakistan. But this year, Bangladesh is turning heads, not just for cost competitiveness, but for its accelerating commitment to sustainability, traceability, and design-forward manufacturing.
Bangladesh’s strategic presence: From fabrics to finished garments
Bangladeshi firms are strategically positioned across both Texworld (fabric and material sourcing) and Apparel Sourcing (ready-made garments and OEM/ODM services), highlighting the country’s vertically integrated supply chain.
Key exhibitors include:
• NZ Denims – Pioneers in eco-friendly denim innovation
• HOORAIN HIGH TECH FABRICS (HTF) – Specializing in performance and sustainable textiles
• TEX WEAVE – Offering premium woven fabrics with green certifications
• CLOVER DESIGN & SOURCING LTD – Bridging global brands with ethical, agile manufacturing
• EPB (Export Promotion Bureau) – Representing 7 additional Bangladeshi exhibitors, amplifying the national footprint
This coordinated presence — supported by EPB — signals Bangladesh’s intent to move beyond “low-cost” labels and position itself as a solution partner for conscious European brands seeking responsible, scalable, and creative manufacturing.
Paris as a gateway to Europe
Texworld Paris remains the most critical gateway for global textile exporters targeting the European Union — home to luxury houses, fast-fashion giants, and sustainability-driven indie labels alike. The event facilitates direct, long-term B2B relationships, trend forecasting, and real-time sourcing negotiations.
This year’s edition also features the Avantex Innovation Zone, spotlighting tech-infused textiles, circular fashion systems, and low-impact materials — areas where Bangladeshi suppliers are rapidly investing.
“European buyers aren’t just looking for price anymore — they’re auditing carbon footprints, water usage, and worker wellbeing,” said a Dhaka-based sourcing agent attending the fair. “Bangladesh’s booth is no longer about volume. It’s about value — sustainable value.”
Why this matters for Bangladesh’s economy
With the EU accounting for over 60% of Bangladesh’s $47 billion apparel exports, mastering the European sustainability playbook is no longer optional — it’s existential. The government and private sector are jointly investing in:
• Green factories (LEED-certified units now exceed 200)
• Waterless dyeing and renewable energy adoption
• Digital sampling and AI-driven supply chain transparency
Participation at Texworld Paris 2025 isn’t just marketing — it’s a strategic recalibration of Bangladesh’s global brand.
Bottom line
Bangladesh didn’t just show up in Paris — it showed up differently. With 20 companies presenting sustainable collections, tech-enabled fabrics, and end-to-end sourcing solutions, the nation is declaring: We’re not just your manufacturer. We’re your innovation partner.
As global fashion pivots to planet-first production, Bangladesh is threading its needle — right on the runway of Europe’s fashion capital.
