The Screen Printing Welfare Association (SPWA) has named Md. Aslam Hossain as its new President, ushering in a fresh phase of leadership for the organisation. This appointment underscores SPWA’s ongoing commitment to empowering the screen printing industry in Bangladesh, a vital component of the country’s readymade garment (RMG) sector.
The Screen Printing Welfare Association (SPWA) plays a crucial role in advancing Bangladesh’s textile and apparel industry by focusing on screen printing, a widely used technique for printing designs, logos and patterns onto garments. This method is essential for value-added apparel, especially in fashion-forward and export-oriented collections, making it a key driver of product diversification and competitiveness in the global RMG market.
As a non-political professional body, SPWA is dedicated to addressing the pressing challenges faced by screen printing businesses and practitioners. The association promotes technical skill development, innovation in printing methods and responsible business practices. Through workshops, training programs and advocacy, SPWA aims to elevate the standards of the screen printing sector while fostering welfare and career growth for professionals involved in the trade.
Screen printing, a technique that uses a mesh screen, ink and a squeegee to transfer designs onto fabric, is valued for its versatility, durability and vibrant color output. In Bangladesh’s RMG sector, it is commonly used for producing high-quality printed t-shirts, fashion apparel, sportswear and promotional clothing destined for international markets. As demand for printed garments continues to rise globally, the role of SPWA in nurturing this segment has become increasingly significant.
