Confidence Group opens new geotextiles plant in Narayanganj

Confidence Infrastructure Limited (CIL), a sister concern of the Confidence Group, has inaugurated its state-of-the-art geotextiles plant in its factory premises in Narayanganj on June 04, 2022, a press release said.

Driven by the inspiration toward building a sustainable future for all and the betterment of people and the country, CIL has established this plant to manufacture geotextiles that will be marketed under the brand name ‘GEOCIL.’  

Engr. Rezaul Karim, Chairman of Confidence Group, has officially inaugurated the plant as the chief guest, in attendance with the Confidence Group’s Vice-Chairman Imran Karim and Managing Director Salman Karim and other high officials.

Geotextiles are a special type of polymer fabric that help conserve resources and protect the environment used to enhance soil to protect the people and establishment from natural disasters like floods, prevent river erosion, strengthen coastlines and riverbanks, and are globally used for embankments. At the same time, it is a cost-efficient technology to mitigate the impact of flooding in coastal areas as it provides strength and flexibility to the soil. 

The plant has already started producing GEOCIL bags and Geo Mats with a dedicated group of highly skilled engineers and trained workers at the wheel, working with state-of-the-art European equipment and technology and advanced raw materials. GEOCIL is being produced in compliance with the specifications set by the Bangladesh Water Development Board, following all the national and international standards with the assurance of international quality through geosynthetic testing.

The factory sits on about 40 acres of land for new established Geotextile plant with other seven different product production facility, and more than 3,000 people are working in the factory. The monthly production capacity of the newly established plant will be around 28,50,000 sq. m. or 11,50,000 bags. The annual turnover of Confidence Infrastructure Limited is around BDT 1200 crore.

 “People, especially those living in coastal areas, often struggle with natural disasters such as floods caused by heavy rainfall and river erosion. Therefore, to protect human lives, economic infrastructures, and maintain environmental stability, we are manufacturing geotextiles locally by setting up this plant with sophisticated technology available for manufacturing across all the production phases,” Engr. Rezaul Karim said at the inaugural ceremony.

Salman Karim said, “Our newly established plant will help the communities across the country by mitigating the risks of natural disaster. Simultaneously, it will contribute to expediting national economic growth as we are looking forward to creating more employment opportunities, improving people’s living standards, and exporting our products.”
