About Jutexpo

Jutexpo Limited and Ganges Jute PVT Limited are delighted to announce an exclusive supply partnership.  This partnership will make them the largest Importer/Exporter of jute bags from India to the UK.

Ganges Jute PVT Limited employ over 5,000 employees, and look after the whole supply chain from bales of jute, through to t he finished bags.  This is a key strength, as it allows us traceability for the whole supply chain.

Together with our Indian partner take our responsibilities to the staff and customers very seriously and to ensure the highest levels, we commission regular Ethical and Technical audits.

Ganges Jute PVT Limited and Jutexpo Limited have enjoyed a close working relationship for several years, and in  the last year both organizations have been working with Intertek, an independent auditing body, to ensure the highest levels of Ethical trading.  This has been done to fully comply with the ETI Base code, an international standard for Ethical practices at work.

In addition Intertek carry out Technical audits, designed to look at the areas that govern product quality.

Over the past 12 months, together we have supplied over 7 million bags, and are on schedule to increase that to around 15 million bags next year, with the help of our Indian partner.

History – The company was founded in 2002 when the CEO identified an opportunity to provide a practical solution to companies and consumers who wanted an ecological alternative to a plastic bag. Years spent in India working closely with the jute industry had developed strong relationships with the mills, and gave the CEO an established supply route from which to grow the business. Jutexpo is a company run for profit, but ethical and environmental concerns are at the heart of our operations.

Our responsibilities - Jutexpo is committed to the development of products and services that further the creation of an ecologically sustainable future. We are regularly independently audited and adhere to strict international fair trading regulations. We expect all of our suppliers to support and uphold those beliefs. Our range of products is manufactured in West Bengal, India, the centre of the world's jute production. 5000 employees work at the factory in a vertical production process that guarantees the quality of the product and the principles by which the process takes place
