Bangladesh Button Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BBMEA)

Bangladesh Button Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BBMEA) represents manufacturers and exporters of buttons in Bangladesh. Based in Baridhara DOHS, Dhaka, the association serves companies producing buttons for the garment industry — including plastic buttons, metal buttons, wooden buttons, shell buttons, and other button types used in apparel manufacturing. The button manufacturing sector is an important part of Bangladesh's garment backward linkage industry, providing essential accessories for the readymade garment (RMG) export sector. The association works to promote manufacturing quality standards, technology adoption, product diversification, and export market access for button manufacturers. BBMEA also facilitates networking opportunities, trade fairs, and knowledge sharing among members to enhance competitiveness in both domestic and international markets. The association collaborates with government bodies, international organizations, and industry stakeholders to address challenges facing the button manufacturing sector, including raw material sourcing, production efficiency, and compliance with international standards. By representing the collective interests of button manufacturers, BBMEA contributes to the growth and sustainability of Bangladesh's RMG sector, which is a cornerstone of the country's economy.
