ZXY International

What ZXY International does

ZXY International DMCC is a privately held, family-owned global apparel buying and sourcing company founded in 2001 by Abby Jamal and headquartered in Dubai, with operational headquarters in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The company serves enterprise customers - 'global brands and retailers' - as an intermediary that coordinates product development, design collaboration, compliance verification, and multi-origin manufacturing across nine product divisions (Athleisure, Corporate, Footwear, Lifestyle, Loungewear, PPE, Retail, Sports, and Wellness/Spa) and fourteen-plus product categories spanning knits, woven, outerwear, chefwear, and technical performance apparel. ZXY operates an asset-light model, working with a network of 140+ partner factories across Bangladesh, Türkiye, India, and Egypt, supported by five regional offices and approximately 800 global team members.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based margins on sourced apparel and design/compliance service fees; pricing is quote-based and contract-negotiated with enterprise buyers rather than publicly disclosed. The company's technical stack includes 3D digital design platforms (Optitex and CLO 3D), a Digital Design & Innovation Hub in Bangladesh, digital colour certification through a partnership with natific, and an in-house ISO-certified laboratory for product testing. ZXY has built a compliance and sustainability infrastructure anchored by ISO 9001:2015, GOTS, GRS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Sedex, Higg Index, Textile Exchange, ZDHC Friend, and a 2023 EcoVadis Silver rating (top 25% of rated companies), with a published 2030 roadmap targeting 100% ZDHC-certified chemicals and zero hazardous discharge. The Jamal family controls the business across three generations, with no external institutional investment or public listing; the 7 STREAMS Foundation operates as the company's CSR vehicle alongside partnerships with Jaago and ecosystem alliances with recycled-fibre supplier Polygenta.
