About Shahana Group

A family's name.
A nation's craft.
A world of buyers.

Shahana Group is a Bangladesh-based garment manufacturing group of two 100% export-oriented factories — built by one family, run on its values, and trusted by international brands for over two decades.

Why Shahana?

The group carries the name of Shahanara Rahman — the mother of our founder. Her values of hard work, honesty and quiet strength are the foundation this business was built on. Every garment that leaves our factories carries her name, and everything it stands for.

Honorary doctorate for outstanding achievement in the business sector

Before I owned a factory, I spent twelve years moving other people's goods across borders. Freight forwarding taught me the supply chain from the inside — and it taught me what buyers remember. Not the promises. Whether the order arrived right, and on time.

In January 2001, I founded M.T. Sweaters Limited and gave the group my mother's name — Shahanara Rahman. She taught me that how you do things matters as much as what you do. I wanted to build something worthy of her name. That standard has not changed in twenty-four years.

Today we are a 100% export-oriented group producing premium sweaters, knitwear and woven garments, with long-standing partnerships across Europe, the USA, the UK, Canada, South Africa and South America. Our work rests on mutual respect, fairness, and the flexibility to ensure shared success.

My wife, Dr. Fatema Rahman, chairs the group and runs our operations. Our son Hafiz serves as Director, building the systems and technology that will carry us forward. Our vision is simple: to be a leading integrated solutions provider in the global apparel industry — competitive in design, development and sourcing, and uncompromising on quality and delivery.

I invite you to explore our profile — and to visit us in Bangladesh. Walk our floors, meet our people, and see for yourself how we work.

The family behind the group

Dr. Md Mizanur Rahman
Founder
Dr. Md Mizanur Hossain
Founder, CEO & Managing Director
Dr. Rahman spent twelve years in freight forwarding before founding M.T. Sweaters in 2001 — he knew international supply chains from the inside before he ever owned a factory. That perspective still defines how the group works: reliability is treated as a discipline, not a promise. His office remains on the factory floor at M.T. Sweaters, where he is present daily. He holds an honorary doctorate for his contribution to Bangladesh's business sector.
Co-founder
Dr. Fatema Rahman
Chairman & Operations Manager
As Chairman, Dr. Fatema Rahman leads the group — and as Operations Manager, she runs it. She oversees the daily working of both factories, from production schedules to the welfare of the people on the floor. Little happens at Shahana Group that she has not seen first-hand. She holds an honorary doctorate for her contribution to the business sector.
Second generation
Md Hafizur Rahman
Director
An engineer by training — Mechanical Engineering, McGill University — Hafizur Rahman joined the group in 2023 and represents the family's second generation in the business. His work centres on the group's systems, technology and long-term direction: carrying forward what his parents built, with the tools of a new generation.

Our values

01
Quality & craftsmanship
Shima Seiki computerised knitting. Juki sewing lines. The best tools in skilled hands — because consistency is built, not inspected in.
02
Trust & long-term relationships
Our longest buyer relationships span more than a decade. We say what we mean, and deliver what we say — every order.
03
People & community first
Fair wages, safe workplaces, and genuine care for the communities around both factories — since the day we opened in 2001.
04
Innovation & growth
From freight forwarding to sweaters, to knitwear and woven. We have never stood still — and the second generation ensures we never will.
