A Sister Concern of WEL.
Under it’s business diversification scheme, Western Engineering (Pvt.) Ltd. has set up a new project of Jute Felt and Non-Woven Geo-textile items for the Global and local market. The name of the project is Western Superior Jute Industries Ltd. (WSJIL). The machineries have been designed with most modern technologies suitable to cater the need of the clients at home and abroad. WSJIL is one of the fastest growing non-woven Geo-textile and Jute Felt manufacturers in Bangladesh. It’s aim is to produce Geo-textile and Jute Felt products of highest standard to cater the need of local and international market.
For Geo-textile products, WSJIL is specialized to offer services such as: Soft soil stabilization, embankment construction, vertical walls with geosynthetics, supply and installation of PVD, riverbank and coastal erosion protection, slope protection.
WSJIL is also the pioneer of Jute Felt manufacturing in Bangladesh. The end use of Jute Felt is for car interlining sector throughout the world. Besides usage in automotive sector, Jute Felt is 100% biodegradable and degrades without leaving harmful traces to the nature. The product insulates the soil against extreme temperatures and hence helps in the survival of plants. The Jute Felt absorbs moisture, up to 5 times its own weight and hence provides water to plants during dry periods.
