My goal is to create a brand that gives back to society, contributes to our communities and protects our environment while helping us move toward a sustainable future.
Throughout my career I have been involved in various businesses. Today my vision is not only to build a successful business, but to create something that gives back and lasts for future generations.
Our story
From one export unit to a diversified group
Scandex Group began its journey in 1999 as a 100% export-oriented garment manufacturing company. In 2008, the group expanded into the ready-made garment (RMG) sector by establishing its first manufacturing facility in Kaliakoir, Gazipur.
Since then, Scandex has diversified across ready-made garment manufacturing, textile processing, filling stations and real estate. Today the group operates a garment manufacturing platform specialising in promotional garments, T-shirts, polos, sweats, hoodies and other apparel.
Under the leadership of Mr. Md. Farid Patwary, the group has employed more than 4,000 people at its peak in the RMG sector. Today Scandex employs more than 2,000 people and continues its journey toward becoming one of Bangladesh's leading promotional garment exporters.
Core values
Four things we do not trade away
Accountability
We own our work, our commitments and our results — including when something goes wrong.
Commitment
To our buyers, suppliers, employees and every stakeholder who depends on our word.
Collaboration
One group, one plan. Units share capacity so your order does not sit in a queue.
Responsibility
A long-term approach to our people, our society and the environment we work in.
Leadership
In their own words
Growth is a number and growth is a process. Maintaining our foundation while growing sustainably is the key to building a lasting business.
Raised with the business values of my father, our vision is to identify challenges, overcome them and establish a platform for a greener, more sustainable future. Our ambition is to build Scandex into a recognised global brand.
