Eco Trade Limited was founded in 2013 in Khulna, the heart of Bangladesh's jute industry. The region produces some of the finest natural jute fiber in the world, and our founders — who grew up surrounded by jute fields and weaving traditions — saw an opportunity to bring this natural material to international markets in the form of high-quality, durable bags.
In our early years, we focused exclusively on jute shopping bags for local and regional export. As demand grew and international buyers began requesting different materials, designs, and customization options, we expanded our capabilities. We added leather goods production, cotton and canvas tote manufacturing, and non-woven promotional bag lines to serve a wider range of wholesale buyers.
A pivotal moment came in 2017, when we invested in a larger facility and modernized our production lines. This allowed us to increase capacity, improve consistency, and take on larger orders from major retailers and importers. We also established a dedicated quality control team and implemented multi-stage inspection protocols that have since become a cornerstone of our reputation.
By 2020, we had expanded our export operations to cover 40+ countries across five continents. We built relationships with trusted freight forwarders, streamlined our export documentation process, and began offering full container load (FCL) shipments to major ports worldwide. Today, we continue to grow — adding new materials, refining our processes, and investing in our workforce — while staying true to our founding commitment to quality and sustainability.
