Mini Garments Owners Community Meet-up 2025 Held Successfully

The Mini Garments Owners Community Meet-up 2025 was held successfully in Dhaka yesterday, bringing together mini and SME garment entrepreneurs from different parts of the country.

Organized by the Mini Garments Owners Community, which represents more than 41,000 members, the event served as an important platform to discuss the present challenges, opportunities, and future direction of the mini garments sector amid changing domestic and global market conditions.

The event was attended by several distinguished leaders of the ready-made garments industry. Among the notable guests were Mozammel Haque Bhuiyan, Managing Director of Mysha Fashions and Chairman of the BGMEA Standing Committee on One Stop Cell; Md. Rubayet Ahmed, Managing Director of Glorious Sun Fashion Garments Limited and Chairman of the BGMEA Standing Committee on SME; and Jewel, Chairman of BGMEA China Market Development. The BGMEA representatives expressed their commitment to supporting mini and SME garment factories through policy advocacy, guidance, and market linkage.

A key highlight of the program was the presence of Md. Salauddin, Advisory Board Member of Bangladesh Fashion Journal, Advisor on Textile and Garments Merchandising platform BUNON, and Director of Reaz Garments Limited. He was formally honored at the event in recognition of his long-standing contribution to the development of domestic manufacturers, brand building, and providing strategic guidance for entering export markets.

In his speech, Md. Salauddin emphasized that mini garment factories have become one of the most flexible and sustainable pillars of Bangladesh’s apparel industry. He stated that if mini factory owners can perform well in the domestic market by ensuring quality, compliance, and timely delivery, they can gradually be guided toward export markets. He also highlighted the importance of building strong networks with small-order buyers, local brands, and domestic retailers as a foundation for sustainable growth.

Speakers at the event agreed that structured collaboration among BGMEA, industry platforms, and entrepreneurs is essential for strengthening the mini and SME garment sector. They reiterated the need for continuous knowledge sharing, skill development, and market access initiatives to ensure long-term sustainability.

The organizers stated that the meet-up was not merely a networking event but the beginning of a long-term collective effort to strengthen domestic manufacturing and prepare capable mini factories for future export opportunities. They expressed optimism that similar programs would be organized regularly on a larger scale to further support the growth of the mini garments sector in Bangladesh.
