Our Review of Mega Sourcing and Merchandising

Mega Sourcing and Merchandising, usually shortened to MSM, is a Bangladeshi apparel buying house with an unusual amount of published corporate detail for its size. The company profile from August 2024 lays out the group history year by year: a freight forwarding arm called Topstar in 2011, the launch of Mega Merchandising Company Limited in Hong Kong and Bangladesh in 2015, the registration of MSM as the apparel-focused entity in 2021, a UK office in 2023, and Turkey plus partner offices in Spain, Germany and Italy in 2024. The website simplifies that to "founded in 2011", which is the group's starting point rather than the apparel entity's. The product range is broad for a buying house: knit and jersey, woven, denim, sweater, lingerie and innerwear, kidswear, shoes, outerwear and home textiles. MSM positions itself as a full-service partner rather than a sourcing-only agent, meaning design and mood boards, product development, sampling, bulk production follow-up, quality assurance, compliance documentation and delivery under DDP terms. For a brand without its own Dhaka office, that package removes the need to coordinate a separate design studio, inspection firm and forwarder. Two details deserve scrutiny before you rely on them. First, the certifications shown on the site (BSCI, WRAP, GOTS, bluesign, ZDHC, SA8000, ISO and others) are displayed as a logo wall without a link to a certificate register, and for a buying house they almost always describe partner factories rather than the buying house itself. Ask for the specific factory certificates for your nominated unit. Second, the website repeats a capacity figure of 80 million pieces per year for every single product category, which is a template artefact; the company profile PDF gives the more plausible split of 6 million knit, 4 million woven, 4 million denim, 4 million innerwear, 1 million home textiles and 6 million pairs of shoes. Use the PDF numbers, not the website numbers. Headquarters also needs a note. The website presents Dhaka as the base, but the company profile labels the Dubai office in Business Bay as headquarter and describes the Dhaka address as liaison office, sample room and manufacturing support. For a buyer this matters only for contract and payment routing: confirm which legal entity signs, which bank account receives the deposit and where the commercial invoice is issued.

Things to Consider

Fees and Pricing

MSM publishes no commission rate, no sampling fee and no minimum order value. Buying houses in Bangladesh typically charge 3 to 8 percent of FOB value, sometimes with a separate sampling or development fee, so ask for the commission, whether it is charged on FOB or on the buyer's landed cost, and whether the factory pays a separate buying house commission on top. Because MSM also offers DDP delivery, get freight quoted separately from the garment price so you can see what the logistics component costs and compare it with your own forwarder. Confirm the contracting entity and bank account before the first deposit, given the differing headquarter statements.

Mega Sourcing and Merchandising: Frequently Asked Questions

When was Mega Sourcing and Merchandising founded?

The website says 2011, which is when the group's freight forwarding arm Topstar started. The company profile dates Mega Merchandising Company Limited to 2015 and the apparel-focused entity MSM to 2021. All three dates are consistent with a group that grew from logistics into apparel sourcing.

What products does MSM source?

Knit and jersey, woven, denim, sweater and flat knit, lingerie and innerwear, kidswear, outerwear, shoes and home textiles. Design, product development, sampling, quality assurance and DDP delivery are offered alongside sourcing.

Where are MSM's offices?

Dhaka in Bangladesh with a head office address in Gulshan and a second office in South Banasree, Dubai in the UAE at The Prime Tower in Business Bay, and Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom. Partner offices are listed in Germany, Italy, Spain and Turkey.

Does MSM own factories?

The company describes itself as a buying house working with partner factories in Bangladesh, Turkey and Macedonia, and the capacity figures in its profile refer to those partner units. Ask which specific factory is proposed for your order and request its own audit and certification documents rather than the logo wall on the website.

Who do I contact at MSM?

Mahbub Ershad is listed as Chief Operating Officer and Sayeda Sharmin Akhter as Head of Business Development, both with direct mobile numbers and email addresses in the company profile. General enquiries go to info@megasourcing.com.bd or +880 942 247 247.
