This inaugural shipment marks the launch of a supply initiative that enhances Bangladesh’s global presence in home appliance manufacturing. Government officials recognized it as a strategic step, commending Beko’s investment and reaffirming Bangladesh’s manufacturing strengths.
Mr MHM Fairoz, Managing Director and CEO of Singer Bangladesh, remarked, “Our aim is to establish Bangladesh as a reliable node in the global manufacturing map. This project reflects our commitment to sustainability, technology transfer, export diversification, and industrial excellence.”
Mr Hakan Altınışık, Factory Director, added, “Exporting wire harness components just months after production began is a proud milestone for our team and a testament to Bangladesh’s high-value manufacturing potential.”
Under the Wire Harness Export Project, the plant is set to support 14 global production facilities within Beko’s network, export to 5 international markets, and generate 1,000 new jobs by the end of 2026.
Constructed in just 18 months and operational within 8 months of breaking ground, the Singer Bangladesh Limited-Home Appliances Plant is built to LEED Gold standards. It incorporates solar readiness and a zero-waste philosophy, showing Beko’s commitment to sustainability. The plant received a USD 78 million investment (excluding the wire harness project) and covers 135,000 square meters.
It currently produces refrigerators, televisions, air conditioners, and washing machines, and now adds wire harness systems to its portfolio. Over 90% of its products are produced domestically. The plant aims to serve the Bangladeshi market and position the country as a regional hub for consumer durables in the medium to long term. It is also focused on building a robust local supplier ecosystem to reduce the sector’s dependence on imports.
This milestone advances Bangladesh’s position as a global manufacturing and export hub as Singer Bangladesh drives industrial growth and sustainable development.
