Dear Team,
I need a moment to let that sink in.
This month, May 2026, Noman Terry Towel Mills crossed one billion US dollars in cumulative export sales. One billion. From a country where the terry towel business was never supposed to succeed. From an industry the world told us belonged to giants in China, India, and Turkey; not Bangladesh. From a sector where every system, every policy, and every market convention was stacked against a locally owned mill trying to compete on the global stage.
And yet, here we are.
We started from almost nothing. As our first full year of export, we shipped $700,000 worth of terry towels to the world and the second year, we doubled it. And we have never looked back. Not once, not in the face of COVID, not through currency shocks, not through buyer volatility, has our sales trajectory ever retreated from where we began. That is not luck. That is, you.
Every loom operator who showed up before dawn. Every quality checker who refused to let a flawed towel leave this factory. Every manager who solved problems no textbook could have prepared them for. Every person in this building who chose to believe in something the industry said was impossible: a Bangladeshi-owned terry towel mill competing and winning in global markets.
We are the first. Let that carry the weight it deserves.
But I want to be honest with you, because you deserve that.
The world has not made this journey easy in recent years. The war in Ukraine, the rising tensions across the Middle East and beyond, have driven energy costs, raw material prices, and freight rates to levels none of us planned for. These are real pressures, and we feel them. The road ahead is not simply about selling more. It is about becoming sharper, leaner, and more disciplined in how we operate every single day.
That means reducing wastage on the floor. It means improving efficiency at every stage of production. It means each of us taking ownership of productivity, not just as a number on a report, but as a personal standard we hold ourselves to. The next chapter of this company will be written not only by how much we sell, but by how well we produce.
Today we are producing 58 tons of terry towel per day in house. Our immediate target is to push that to 70 tons per day from our own operations, supported by an additional 10 tons per day through strategic outsourcing, bringing our total capacity to 80 tons per day. That is not a distant dream. That is the next milestone we are marching toward, and every one of you plays a direct role in getting us there.
With that platform, we are targeting 20% revenue growth in 2027. We will get there. But we will get there together, and we will get there the right way: through excellence, through discipline, and through the same relentless spirit that carried us to this billion.
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for building this with me.
The best is still ahead.
With immense pride and gratitude,
"Transforming Tomorrow.”
