DHAKA, March 11, 2026 (BSS) – The Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) and Rosin Exports Limited today signed a land lease agreement to establish a modern denim industrial unit in the Jamalpur Economic Zone (EZ).

Under the agreement, Rosin Exports Limited will be allotted five acres of land to set up the facility with an estimated investment of US$10 million, said a press release. 

The project is expected to generate employment for approximately 800 people. 

Established in 2005, Rosin Exports Limited is already active in the production and export of knit garment products and operates another factory in the Jamalpur district. 

The company currently employs a total workforce of around 10,000 individuals and is expanding into denim production to diversify its operations.

The agreement was signed at the BEZA office by Saleh Ahmad, Executive Member (Investment Development) of BEZA and an Additional Secretary to the government, and S.M. Shahinuzzaman, Managing Director of Rosin Exports Limited.

Speaking at the ceremony, Saleh Ahmad noted that investments from domestic industrial groups in the Jamalpur Economic Zone would play a vital role in increasing export earnings and promoting technology-driven industrialization. 

He assured that BEZA would continue to provide all necessary support and a physical investment-friendly environment to expedite the establishment of the industry.

S.M. Shahinuzzaman stated that his company is preparing to establish a modern and environment-friendly industrial plant with BEZA’s cooperation.

He added that his organization is already working to develop a skilled workforce within the knitwear industry in Jamalpur.

The Jamalpur Economic Zone is the first government-owned economic zone in the Mymensingh division, spanning approximately 436 acres. 

Once fully implemented, the zone is projected to create direct employment opportunities for about 32,000 people. The site is designed to host various sectors, including agro-based industries, light engineering, and garments. 

Infrastructure developments, including gas connection lines, a 33/11 KVA electricity substation, administrative and dormitory buildings, land development, and boundary walls, have already been completed. 

To date, lease agreements have been signed with approximately 20 industrial units in this zone, with three companies set to begin production soon and nine others currently under construction.
