Present in Bangladesh since the past two decades, Focus Garment Tech has become synonymous to the needs of the industry as a complete apparel manufacturing solution provider. Spearheading the company’s operations in the country, Foo Toon Pow, Managing Director, Focus Garment Tech is confident of the complete package they are offering to the region from cutting to sewing to finishing. Besides its own sewing machine brand Nisho, the company provides machines from Juki, Brother and SunStar also; in cutting, the company sells KM and for finishing Nisho, Nissan and Hashima. In the region, KM, Nisho, Hashima, Dino, UZU, Unison, Hurg, WEDA and Three Kings are the company’s most popular brands.
The FE-810 automatic thread cutting device from Dino for overlock sewing machines is among the most popular product offerings of the company. With various patents, the device is not only highly ergonomical, efficient and fully automatic, it also helps companies save 75% electricity, 85% sewing thread and increases the production by 35%. “Suitable for 3,4 and 5 thread overlock machines, the device not only cuts the threads at the seam ends but also locks the ends for avoiding thread unravelling. Due to all these advantages the Return-on Investment is within a year,” informs Foo Toon Pow. The US-100EZ and US-100V thread trimmers from UniSun and the Hurg HCT-888 tension type Computerized Metering Device, are the other popular products from the company.

Working with a network of more than 20 dealers in the country, Foo Toon Pow believes that this dealer network they have created is one of the biggest reasons for their deep penetration into the market. For 2013, the company’s focus would be on increasing the response time to customer queries and requirements. “We plan to introduce more and more automated solutions in the country to save labour & power and increase productivity & quality, which would only be successful if only our after-sales service support is great. We also plan to bring in automated printing technologies,” concluded Foo Toon Pow.
