“These Employees And Their Families Depend On Us.”

Noman Group is one of the largest vertically integrated textile companies in Bangladesh. It has more than 20 subsidiaries – with a reach across denim, apparel, fabrics, home textiles and towels – and exports products to major retail chains around the globe including H&M, Ikea, Walmart, Aldi and Debenhams.

One of the company’s directors, Mohammad Abdullah Zubair, is the son of Noman Group Founder Md. Nurul Islam. “I grew up learning textiles,” Mohammad tells The CEO Magazine. “It was my destiny to join the family business as a helping hand to my father.”

Nurul began his career in textiles in the 1960s, eventually building a string of textile businesses. He began producing mesh, net and jersey fabrics in 1980. He later launched Zaber & Zubair Fabrics – the flagship company of what was to later become Noman Group.

Zaber & Zubair Fabrics undertakes spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing activities. For 10 consecutive years, it has received a gold trophy from the Bangladesh government for its outstanding export capabilities. It is the first company in Bangladesh to export more than US$1 billion worth of products. In March, Z&Z held its fourth annual Fabric Week (also known as Mill Week). The initiative was launched as a way for world-renowned brands, garment industries and designers to learn about the company’s product range. Some 500 buyers from North America, Europe and Japan signed up for the fair, which further thrust the company onto the global stage.

Mohammad became directly involved with the company in 2005. Having grown up in the business, he believes in Noman Group having a family-like approach. “We treat every employee as a family member,” he says. “A worker from the factory can call the Chairman, Managing Director or Deputy Managing Director at any time. And we are eager to solve any problems they may have.”
