Sonnet Textile Industries, based in Bangladesh, has produced about six lakh pieces of Fifa T-shirts for the Fifa World Cup to be held in Qatar this year. The factory has made the T-shirts on behalf of Fifa-licensed Russian sports chain shop Sportmaster. And this is not the first time for Sonnet which made two lakh pieces of official jackets with Fifa logo for the 2018 Russia World Cup. The apparel maker also received a work order for three lakh T-shirts for the 2020 Euro Cup.

Sonnet established in 2009 amid the global recession and survived on sub-contracting all through 2009. In April 2010, the factory received an order from the US for the first time to baby rompers. In 2010, a group of Russian buyers visited Sonnet and they ordered 2.45 lakh T-shirts. The company then focused on marketing. In 2011, Sonnet received an order from a US buyer that helped it stabilize the balance sheet. With the US order, Sonnet recovered its losses, stabilized its courses and started expanding. It has not had to look back since then.

Now, about 1,800 people work at the three factories. Its T-shirts, jackets, active wear and sportswear are exported to Russia. It exports sleepwear and undergarments to the US. Children's items, rompers and T-shirts go to Italy. Besides, Japan sources various garments for men, women and children from the company.
