Turkish textile group Sanko plans a $300 million integrated manufacturing facility in Bangladesh’s Mirsarai industrial zone.
The project would cover fabric production, advanced processing and high-value textile products for export markets.
For sourcing teams, the plan could add local capacity, technology transfer and coal-free production aligned with buyer standards.
Sanko representatives told the meeting the company wants to move from supplying textile products from Turkiye to operating a full-scale production base in Bangladesh, citing demand from international buyers, the country’s skilled workforce, export capability and favourable investment environment.
The proposed facility is planned for fabric manufacturing, advanced textile processing and high-value-added textile products for global export markets. In addition, the local base will also support higher-quality material availability for Bangladesh’s ready-made garment (RMG) and textile sectors, and provide technology and skills support to existing domestic textile factories.
Sanko has completed preliminary site selection and discussions with local partners, and construction is expected to be completed within 12 to 18 months after the required government approvals, with operations planned within a few months of approval.
The Sanko delegation sought government assistance for uninterrupted gas and electricity supply, faster utility connections and quicker regulatory clearances. The company also said it would use environment-friendly technologies and coal-free energy management to meet international sustainability standards, according to the reports.
The proposed investment is expected to generate employment, improve Bangladesh’s export competitiveness and help attract more international buyers seeking higher-quality textile products.
