ARL Apparels Limited, a Chittagong-based readymade garments manufacturing enterprise, will set up a manufacturing unit in Karnaphuli export processing zone (EPZ), located at about 10-km distance from Chittagong.

As per the agreement signed by ARL Apparels and the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA), the company would invest US$ 1.46 million for setting up the factory, Bangladesh’s news agency BSS reported.

The new manufacturing unit will have annual capacity to produce 3.744 million dozens of knitwear and 312,000 dozens of woven garments, and will create 3,245 new job opportunities.
