According to Ananta Ahmed (LEED AP BD+C, ID+C, EB O+M, HOMES & ND, USGBC), “As we do with all projects, we visit the site, complete the feasibility study and discuss with client to know they requirements and DREAM. So, we can guide the Project Team in meaningful way. We visited the site with Design Team, provide our guidance and with that Design Team created a ‘Building Design’ which will blend with the nature.”

Since then, they have expanded into the production of greige yarn (for both knitted and denim garments), denim fabric, knitted garments, sweater garments and denim garments, which supply some of the world’s most well-recognized retail brands and are distributed to stores across the world.
