Since 2018, APR has proudly partnered with APS Group, a leading end-to-end apparel solution provider based in Bangladesh. This long-standing collaboration is centered on integrating APR’s sustainable viscose fibre into APS Group’s extensive global product portfolio, driving forward eco-conscious textile solutions.
Meeting Global Standards through Partnership
Established in 1999, APS Group has evolved from a family-run knit apparel manufacturer into a rapidly expanding conglomerate. The company now operates as a complete composite setup, boasting over 100 leaders and more than 6,000 skilled workers. With a monthly production capacity of 3.5 million pieces and an annual turnover between $97.5 million and $103 million, APS Group’s vertically integrated setup and advanced technological capabilities have positioned them as a major force in Bangladesh’s textile industry. The group operates with a strong commitment to sustainable leadership, aiming to meet customer expectations, cultivate a motivated workforce, and uphold global standards.
Chairman Md Hasib Uddin sheds lights on why sustainability is central to APS Group’s operations, “We are basically an export-oriented manufacturer. Since our market is in Europe and the US, we must comply with whatever norms they are generating.” He emphasises the role of sustainability in today’s market, elaborating: “Now is the time and era of sustainability, and there’s tremendous pressure from customers from Europe and America, where sustainable materials have become a big issue, a major factor.”
APR emerged as the clear choice for APS Group, Md Hasib Uddin states, “From that sustainability perspective, APR has been the right choice, and that’s the reason why APR has grown very fast.” He highlights APR’s integrated value chain, from responsibly managed plantation, managed by our sister company, APRIL, to fibre production, “We are impressed by APR’s integrated value chain, from responsibly managed plantation source to viscose fibre production. It aligns closely with our customer needs in Europe and the US.”
This alignment extends to global environmental standards. Md Hasib Uddin points to APR’s compliance with benchmarks like EU-BAT and ZDHC Guidelines, noting, “For APS, this compliance is essential for our customers, especially in markets where environmental scrutiny is increasing. It supports our credibility and long-term brand reputation.”
Through this strategic collaboration, APS Group is well-positioned to offer innovative, sustainable products, while maintaining a resilient supply chain. “Working with APR means we’re not only meeting current market expectation – we’re also anticipating what’s next.”
