The target is an established Bangladesh-based knitwear manufacturer serving international buyers across the EU, UK and US markets. The company currently operates from a 6,000 sqm site with approximately 2,500 sqm of production space and generates around USD 4M in annual turnover.

The business is seeking USD 5M of growth capital to establish a bonded production facility, modernize its machinery, introduce green and automated manufacturing technologies, and strengthen working capital.

The expansion is designed to increase production capacity by approximately 2.5x and create a more integrated, technology-driven manufacturing platform.

The proposed investment combines infrastructure development, machinery modernization, automation, working capital and compliance upgrades.
