What Epyllion Group does

Epyllion Group is a Bangladesh-based, privately held, vertically integrated textile and readymade garment (RMG) conglomerate founded in 1994 as Dekko Knitwears Limited with two sewing lines and 200 employees. The group has grown to 23,000+ employees operating 160+ sewing lines across five garments units, two textile units (knitting, dyeing, finishing, and yarn dyeing), an accessories unit (cartons, poly bags, labels, elastic, tape), a wet-processing unit (200,000 pieces/day), a third-party testing laboratory (ETLL), and a packaging-testing lab. Its core revenue engine is B2B garment manufacturing for global fashion brands and retailers, exporting primarily to Europe (84%, led by Germany and the UK) with secondary flows to Australia (6%), Asia (5%), the Americas (4%), and Africa (1%), with an annual capacity of ~100 million garments. Notable buyers include Ralph Lauren, Marks & Spencer, G-Star Raw, Target Australia, and C&A, supported by an unusually broad set of certifications (LEED Gold, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001, GOTS, GRS, BSCI, SEDEX, WRAP, Fair Trade, Oeko-Tex, BCI, Supima, Nordic Swan, and others).

The group runs a B2B transaction-fee revenue model built around long-term buyer contracts and a vertically integrated cost structure, with pricing conducted on a quote basis and not publicly disclosed. In 2015 it extended into direct-to-consumer retail in Bangladesh through the 'Sailor' brand (20+ outlets across major cities), and in 2013 it launched Epytoast food-and-beverage outlets for workforce feeding. The 2021 opening of the 50-line Epyllion Knitwears Limited-HW facility in Narayanganj — described as the group's 'crown jewel' — materially expanded manufacturing capacity. Epyllion's value proposition centers on complete vertical integration from yarn-dyed fabrics through trims, washing, and testing to finished garments, paired with extensive compliance certifications and buyer-specific recognition (Ralph Lauren Key Supplier 2023, M&S 3D Guru 2023, G-Star Raw Best Quality 2023). Notable technology components include first-in-Bangladesh Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) water treatment, E-Flow eco-friendly dyeing, 3D Digital Product Creation, and an in-house Design Studio with international designers. The group is led by Chairman Reaz Uddin Al-Mamoon and is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional investors.
