Universal Menswear Ltd. Launches Rooftop Solar Power Project, Reinforcing Its Leadership in Sustainable Manufacturing

Universal Menswear Ltd. (UML), the largest formalwear manufacturing plant in South East Asia, has commissioned an 814 kWp rooftop solar power system at its facility in Adamjee EPZ, further solidifying its commitment to sustainability and clean energy.

Fully operational since July 5, the solar system is expected to generate approximately 950 MWh of clean energy annually and reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 637 tons per year. The project follows UML’s achievement of LEED Gold Certification in August 2023.

“This project reflects our long-term vision to operate responsibly while maintaining excellence in manufacturing,” said Mr. Sharif Zahir, Managing Director of UML.

Established in 2010, UML produces up to 350,000 men’s suits each month and employs over 6,000 people. With an annual turnover of USD 100 million, it is widely regarded as the premier high-quality formalwear manufacturer in the region, proudly serving global brands such as Moss Bros, Marks & Spencer, H&M, Calvin Klein, Ben Sherman, Kenneth Cole and Zara.

UML’s solar initiative sets a bold example for private sector leadership in sustainability and innovation.
