Armin Sweaters Wins UK Christmas Season Order Worth £3.2M

Armin Sweaters (BD) Ltd., one of Bangladesh's largest sweater manufacturers, secured a £3.2 million Christmas season order from a premium UK high-street retailer. The deal was facilitated through BangladeshExport's RFQ marketplace, where the buyer posted a request for 450,000 merino wool blend sweaters with delivery by August 2026.

Armin Sweaters stood out among 12 responding suppliers due to:

• Specialized sweater production since 1998
• 3,200+ skilled workers (65% female)
• Computerized flat knitting machines (Shima Seiki)
• Existing relationships with H&M, Zara, and Marks & Spencer
• OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification
• Duty-free access to UK under DCTS preference scheme

The order includes 18 styles across men's, women's, and children's ranges, with sizes from XS to XXL. Armin's vertical integration — from yarn dyeing to finishing — enabled a 9-week lead time, 3 weeks faster than competitors. The buyer has already committed to a spring 2027 follow-on order worth an estimated £2.1M.
