The new facility, strategically located just outside of Southern Bangladesh’s bustling seaport and financial hub, will complement A&E’s existing operation in Gazipur, further solidifying the company’s commitment to the region. With this expansion, A&E is poised to increase production capacity, improve service levels, and reduce lead times, enabling the company to continue delivering premium quality thread products to its customers worldwide with greater efficiency.

The facility’s opening was commemorated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by key industry leaders, customers, suppliers, partners, and government officials. The event provided guests with an exclusive opportunity to tour the new facility and learn more about its innovative technologies and capabilities.

“We are excited to open this new manufacturing facility, which enhances our ability to support customers globally while maintaining A&E’s high standards of excellence,” said Jeffrey P. Pritchett, Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors for Elevate Textiles, the parent company of A&E. “This expansion reflects our long-term vision for growth and our commitment to providing innovative thread solutions.”

In addition to manufacturing, the Chattogram facility will function as a regional hub for innovation, where A&E will continue to develop advanced thread solutions, optimize production processes, and implement sustainability initiatives.
