PDS has joined hands with Good Fashion Fund to install a state-of-the-art wash plant in Progress Apparels Bangladesh, one of PDS’s manufacturing subsidiaries in Bangladesh. The Good Fashion Fund is a one-of-its-kind impact investment fund initiated by Laudes Foundation, aimed to drive systemic change in the textile & apparel industry, by financing the implementation of state-of-the art and disruptive technologies and innovations delivering good fashion practices.
The new wash plant installed at Progress Apparels has the capacity to wash six million garments per annum. The machinery for the wash plant includes two washing machines, three dryer machines, and two hydro machines with inverters. With this facility, Progress Apparels can now manage 90 percent of the current wash requirement in-house, translating into savings in transportation costs and production turnaround time resulting in operating efficiencies.
PDS is a design-led organisation and its talented design teams offer exceptional product development and design services customised to retailers’ requirements.
