BEXIMCO Group

The BEXIMCO Group is the largest private-sector group in Bangladesh. BEXIMCO was founded in the 1970s by two brothers – Ahmed Sohail Fasihur Rahman and Salman Fazlur Rahman. Since the early days, the Group has evolved from being primarily a commodities trading company to a leading, diversified group with a presence in industry sectors that account for nearly 75% of Bangladesh's GDP. BEXIMCO's corporate mission is "Taking Bangladesh to the world". As BEXIMCO has grown over the years, the flagship platform now has operations and investments across a wide range of industries including textiles, pharmaceuticals, PPE, ceramics, real estate development, construction, trading, marine food, information and communication technologies, media, DTH, financial services, and energy. The Group sells its products and services in the domestic Bangladesh market as well as international markets. BEXIMCO is the largest employer in the private sector in Bangladesh and employs over 70,000 people worldwide. The BEXIMCO name has now become one of the most recognizable brand names in Bangladesh. It is synonymous with innovation, trust, and quality. The Group consists of four publicly traded and seventeen privately held companies. The publicly traded companies are Bangladesh Export Import Company Limited, Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited, Shinepukur Ceramics Limited, and Beximco Synthetics Limited. The total revenue of the group stands in excess of a Billion US Dollars per year. In recent times BEXIMCO has launched its newest Vertical, the BEXIMCO PPE Division which is responsible for producing the highest grade of internationally certified PPE products for medical use. BEXIMCO intends to leverage its market position and global scale, further diversify operations into highly profitable sectors, capitalize on the domestic growth opportunity and selectively pursue international opportunities going forward.
