Supplier Profile

Ha-Meem Group's biggest export unit: woven denim bottoms and jackets for Gap, Old Navy and Levi's

Updated Sep 2026

Refat Garments Limited is a Bangladeshi woven-garment manufacturer at East Narashinghpur, Ashulia, Savar (Dhaka), established in 2004 and a sister concern of Ha-Meem Group, one of the country's largest apparel conglomerates. Within the group it is the biggest exporting unit: The Daily Star reports it has been the top exporter of woven items since FY2011-12 and won the government's gold trophy for FY2017-18 on $172 million of woven shipments. Its US ocean import record matches that profile precisely — 985 shipments to 13 US consignees between January and August 2026, dominated by cotton denim woven pants, girls'/women's denim bottoms and cotton jackets under HS 620462, 620920, 620342 and 610110. The buyers are the Gap Inc group (Old Navy, The Gap, Old Navy Canada, Gap Canada, Banana Republic), Levi Strauss & Co and its Canadian arm, and Timberland/VF Outdoor, moving almost entirely on Maersk into Newark and Los Angeles. Behind it sits Ha-Meem's vertical denim capability — a denim mill of over 4 million metres a month and washing capacity of 300,000 pieces a day — which is why critical-wash denim bottoms are the natural fit here.
