Geotextiles are polymer fabrics used for many civil engineering purposes, including the construction of roads, drains, harbour works, breakwaters, and land reclamation.
"To protect human lives, economic infrastructures, and maintain environmental stability, we are manufacturing geotextiles locally by setting up this plant with sophisticated technology," said Rezaul Karim, chairman of Confidence Group, at the inauguration ceremony Saturday.
Salman Karim, managing director of Confidence Infrastructure, said: "Our newly established plant will help the communities across the country by mitigating the risks of natural disasters. It will also contribute to national economic growth as we are looking forward to creating more employment opportunities, improving people's living standards, and exporting our products."
