The textile and clothing (T&C) industries provide the single source of economic growth
in Bangladesh's rapidly developing economy. Exports of textiles and garments are the principal
source of foreign exchange earnings. By 2002 exports of textiles, clothing, and ready-made
garments (RMG) accounted for 77% of Bangladesh’s total merchandise exports. By 2013, about
4 million people, mostly women, worked in Bangladesh's $19 billion-a-year industry, export-
oriented ready-made garment (RMG) industry. Bangladesh is second only to China, the world's
second-largest apparel exporter of western brands. Sixty percent of the export contracts of
western brands are with European buyers and about forty percent with American buyers. Only
5% of textile factories are owned by foreign investors, with most of the production being
controlled by local investors. It can be emphasized that among the entire textile sector knit
composite is the most fast growing sector in Bangladesh because of smaller investment
requirement, greater backward linkage facility and higher profit. We are very fortunate at such
type of present situation we have completed our industrial training at a reputed 100% export
oriented knit composite factory “FAKHRUDDIN TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED.”
“FAKHRUDDIN TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED” is fully concerned about knitting, knit
dyeing and knit garments which vertically setup well planned textile unit in 2005. From the
beginning of production it has earned lot of reputation due to its quality product and approval of
several multinational inspection firm i.e. Oeko Tex, SGS, WRAP as well as renowned buyer i.e.
MARKS & SPENCER, S.OLIVER. At “FAKHRUDDIN TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED” we have
completed eight weeks long industrial training on knitting, knit dyeing and finishing. During
entire training period we had tried as much as possible to keep ourselves at actual working
condition by implementation our knowledge, thoughts and ideas and this report is mainly a little
effort to express such experiences gathered in training.

Water :
Source of water is land water which is pumped by deep tube well.
Water treatment plant: Small, medium, & big size industries use treated water to different
machine like boiler, dyeing, washing machine. They collect this water from land by deep tube
well. But raw water content different types of foreign materials like oil or gummy substances.
Iron ,Copper, Manganese & their salt, etc. The hardness of raw water is 100 ppm or more. To use
it in dyeing and in boiler this water needs to be softened & foreign materials needs to be
removed. Otherwise this may create problem in processing like precipitation of soap, redeposit
on fabric & scale formation on pipe line etc. There is no WTP at Fakhruddin Textile Mills Ltd.
Supply water is used there for every process as the hardness of water is very low.
Steam:
Steam is produced by boiler .From the Water Treatment Plant, water is stored in
a reserve tank and from there water goes to boiler & steam is produce.

Industrial training is an essential part for textile education because it minimizes the gap
between theoretical and practical knowledge. Undoubtedly, this industrial training helped us a lot
about textile technology, production process, machineries, and industrial management and made
us comfortable with industrial life. Besides it give us the first opportunity to work in industry.
During our two month industrial training at Fakhruddin Textile Mills Ltd. we have got the
impression that this factory is a modern export oriented knit composite industry. Though it was
established 5 years ago, it has achieved a very good reputation in foreign market for its best
quality product over many other export oriented textile mills by establishing on-line and off-line
quality control system of each product. They have well equipped and modern textile testing
laboratory. They do all the chemical & physical tests of dyed good and the results are very good
and within the buyer’s acceptance limit. During our training period we have rarely saw many
faulty dyeing. If there was any problem it was quickly removed with the help of experienced and
skilled manpower. During this period we have never seen any stripping of color from fabric.
Moreover they use good quality yarn, dyes, and chemicals in production. The administration &
management are well organized. In our training period, talking with the clients of this mill we
knew that the mill is fulfilling the country’s best export oriented white finished fabric as well as
very good colored fabric due to its modern machinery & good management system. Mill is
settled with utility to give all convenient supports to the productions for twenty-four hours. We
are enough fortunate that we have got an opportunity of having a training in this mill. During the
training period we are received co-operation and association from the authority & found all man,
machines & materials on appreciable working condition. All stuffs & officers were very sincere
& devoted their duties to achieve their goal.
