Since its foundation in the late 2005s, Knitex Dresses Ltd. has grown into one of Bangladesh’s leading knit composite manufacturers. As a part of the renowned Mondol Group, the company stands for high-quality production, vertical integration, and a strong focus on sustainability and social responsibility. The company has two campus which are located at Sardagong, Gazipur and Mirzapur, Tangail. Knitex Dresses Ltd. covers the full textile value chain – from knitting and dyeing to printing, finishing, and garmenting. This allows for maximum quality control, flexibility, and efficiency.

With a workforce of more than 2.500 people, Knitex produces a wide range of knitwear for global customers. Its daily capacities include around 25,000 kg each in knitting and dyeing, plus several tens of thousands of garments across different categories.

The company philosophy combines quality, employee welfare, and sustainability. All those term are deeply anchored in the group’s DNA.

Focus on quality

To remain a trusted partner for global brands, Knitex Dresses Ltd. continuously invests in modern machinery. The latest example in this strategy: the installation of a Mahlo Orthopac RVMC-15 weft straightener.

Mahlo’s classic optical weft straightener corrects fabric distortions in nearly all applications, ensuring perfect fabric quality right from the start of the finishing line.

The machine was installed and commissioned by Mahlo’s long-term trusted partner in Bangladesh, Tootal Quality Resources, guaranteeing smooth integration and professional support.

Outlook

With the new Mahlo technology in operation, Knitex Dresses Ltd. strengthens its ability to deliver flawless fabrics, reduce waste, and improve efficiency.

Smart Quality Control for Technical Textiles

In the end, what matters is the result: a filter that performs reliably, a membrane that remains stable in storm conditions, a composite material with precisely defined properties. But the path to achieving this is demanding. In the production of technical textiles, numerous parameters interact – and even the smallest deviations can have major consequences.

New Gravimax MMX-R X-ray sensor platform opens up new application fields

The demands placed on quality control in web-based production processes are increasing: materials are becoming more complex, basis weights are varying more widely, and at the same time, pressure is growing to make processes more efficient and transparent. Precise measurement data across the entire web width has therefore become a key factor in ensuring stable production processes. With its new Gravimax MMX-R sensor platform, Mahlo introduces a radiometric measurement solution designed to set new standards in determining basis weight and material composition. The platform combines advanced X-ray technology with newly developed signal processing, enabling measurement tasks that previously often required multiple sensor technologies.
