ABOUT US

FAKIR APPARELS

Fakir Apparels, established in 1998 is located in an industrial zone in Narayanganj which is approximately an hour-long drive from the capital city. The roots of Fakir enterprises dates back to the 1960s when the true founder, Al-Haj Yusuf Ali Fakir took his first step into the industry and began trading textile raw materials and fabrics. Several decades of knowledge, experience and passion gathered during that time led to the culmination of Fakir Group and the RMG giant that is Fakir Apparels.

Over 20 years since its inception, Fakir Apparels has grown around 15% year-on-year.  Today, our operations span from vertically integrated Knits manufacturing to Woven (cut-to-ship) operations in separate units in the same compound.
