Major Measures by BEXIMCO for PPE Quality & Safety

Partnership with Intertek

Intertek is the top provider of Total Quality Assurance. It caters to sectors across the world. This organization and BEXIMCO Group, the leader in the private sector of Bangladesh, partnered to manufacture PPE during the coronavirus pandemic.

Amidst the pandemic, while the COVID-19 virus was a threat to life, the shortage of personal protective equipment was also a concern. This partnership was a strategic move during that time. However, beyond that, it was a measure to further enhance the product quality and safety of the equipment.

For as many as 15 years, Intertek has been a reliable partner for the Bangladeshi giant. For its apparel/textile operations, it has been offering ATIC or Assurance, Testing, Inspection, and Certification services.

Ensuring Effective Testing with Intertek

Until some years ago, in Bangladesh, there were fewer facilities for the advanced testing of PPE. The partnership of BEXIMCO with Intertek resulted in meeting the necessary standards. Thus, the Centre of Excellence PPE Lab was formed over a 12,000 sq. ft. area to include advanced testing facilities.

Setting up the PPE Industrial Park
