Vertically integrated textile and garment company BEXIMCO has partnered with FibreTrace to deliver complete supply chain traceability to its sustainable practice in Bangladesh and beyond.

Asian company BEXIMCO says the partnership will see FibreTrace pigment applied to cotton, hemp, recycled polyester and recycled cotton fibre during the spinning process, and will be with the textile for life – through use, reuse, recycle and reimagination.

The core of the FibreTrace Verified technology is a patented luminescent pigment that is embedded in raw fibres and is traced, verified and audited in real-time at each step of the global textile supply chain. This is achieved via a proprietary handheld FibreTrace Bluetooth Scanner that identifies and quantifies pigments in fibre, yarn, fabric and finished goods that send encrypted data into secure blockchain and software that was specifically designed and engineered for the textile and apparel supply chain.

“As Bangladesh’s leading innovative sustainable material supplier, we are excited to offer a range verified by trailblaing traceability technology FibreTrace,” says Syed Naved Husain, CEO textile and group director of BEXIMCO.

The company says it is “the most modern composite textile and apparel setup in the region, boasting state-of-the-art technology across spinning, knitting, weaving, denim and garment finishing”.

BEXIMCO has a history of adopting innovative, intelligent fibres, and looks forward to using FibreTrace Verified technology to demonstrate its commitment to transparency and traceability as the company tracks progress toward “further sustainable economic, social and environmental development”.

BEXIMCO has capacity to finish 100,000 yards of fabric per day and a stronghold on production in Bangladesh. It is one of the country’s largest conglomerates and maintains a strong presence among Bangladesh’s most prominent industry sectors.

The group’s textile division is a fully integrated manufacturer of cotton and polyester blended fabric and garments, satisfying demand in domestic and export markets.

Yarn, woven fabrics, knit fabrics and apparel born from the partnership will be available as of January 2023.
