Sourcing apparel and textiles through Roptan

Mills and suppliers around Dhaka, Gazipur, Narayanganj and Chattogram also make fabric, trims and home textiles, so fabric, trims and making can often be sourced in one country.

Roptan works as your sourcing office. We match your tech pack to verified factories with current audits, approve fabric and samples with you, check the bulk before it ships and deliver FOB Chattogram, or to your site if you buy inside Bangladesh.
