Zant Accessories Limited has signed a land lease agreement with the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) to establish a polyurethane and polyethylene foam manufacturing facility at the National Special Economic Zone (NSEZ), marking a new export-oriented industrial investment in Bangladesh.
According to BEZA, the company plans to invest approximately Taka 80 crore to set up the unit on five acres of land, with commercial production expected to commence in May 2027. The facility is being developed primarily to serve export markets.
The proposed plant will manufacture polyurethane and polyethylene foam, recycled foam, as well as finished products including mattresses, pillows, comforters and shoe insoles. These products cater to a wide range of industries, such as home textiles, footwear and packaging.
BEZA said the factory has been designed as an environmentally friendly industrial unit, with comparatively low requirements for water and electricity and no need for a gas connection. The authority added that the investment is aligned with Bangladesh’s broader strategy to promote sustainable, export-led industrial growth.
Company sources indicated that around 90% of the raw materials required for production will be imported from China, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia. Zant Accessories Limited already operates another manufacturing facility at the Karnaphuli Export Processing Zone.
Saleh Ahmed, Executive Member (Investment Development) at BEZA, described the project as a positive signal for export-oriented industrial expansion, noting that investments of this nature could help attract additional local and foreign investors to the National Special Economic Zone.
The land lease agreement was signed on behalf of BEZA by Saleh Ahmed, while Md Tofazzal Hossain, Chairman of Zant Accessories Limited, represented the company.
Zant Accessories Ltd caters to brands like Decathlon, Patagonia, Puma, Timberland, The North Face and VF Corp, among others.
According to BEZA data, 17 industrial units are currently operational at the NSEZ, with a further 24 units under construction, as the zone continues to develop integrated industrial infrastructure supported by sustainable utility systems.
