Encyclopedia : A : AD : ADA : Adamjee Jute Mills
Adamjee Jute Mill was established in Narayanganj, Bangladesh in 1951, immediately after Bawa Jute Mills (the first jute mill in Bangladesh). Gradually, the mill became the largest jute mill in the world preceding the jute mills of Calcutta, India and Dundee, Scotland.
Adamjee Jute Mills was established to utilize the relatively finer jute fibers of the East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) region. Narayanganj was the largest or second largest jute market of the world. As therer are many rivers and was a gateway to Dhaka, Narayanganj's economic activities were largely contributed by Adamjee Jute Mills and it was also called the Dundee of the East.
During the start of 1970s, the polypropylene products start to substitute traditional jute products and the fall of Adamjee Jute Mills start. However, it has managed to survive 1980s with nominal margin. The death of Adamjee Jute Mills started during the 1990s. After a strong battle for survival, Adamjee Jute Mills was officially declared dead in 2002.
In that place, a new industrial zone is going to be installed.
