Our History
From 25 Machines to a Global Apparel Producer
SDF Clothing was founded on August 22, 1998, in the heart of Dhaka's textile district. What began as a small sewing unit with just 25 machines has evolved into one of the region's most trusted clothing suppliers, serving fashion brands across four continents.

Our capabilities now encompass the complete supply chain: fabric sourcing, pattern development, dyeing, finishing, cut & sew, embroidery, screen printing, AQL 2.5 quality inspection, and FOB delivery from Chittagong port.
Our commitment to ethical manufacturing, quality excellence, and environmental responsibility has earned the trust of 200+ international brands.
