BEXIMCO's myriad activities have been instrumental in Bangladesh's socio-economic development and as the company's motto says, they are "taking Bangladesh to the world"
BEXIMCO’S PRODUCTS ARE WELL ACCEPTED IN THE WESTERN WORLD AND THE GROUP OPERATES THROUGH SHOW ROOMS IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE

BEXIMCO’s activities span a wide scope of sectors. Although its main focus lies in textiles, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, real estate, construction, marine foods, and trading, the conglomerate is also involved aviation, hospitality, financial services and various other business lines.

Provider of fine materials for the world’s leading clothing brands BEXIMCO covers one of South Asia’s largest vertically integrated textile and garment companies. The Textile division is a fully integrated manufacturer of cotton and polyester blended garments for men, women and children, both for domestic and export markets.

BEXIMCO Textile (Bextex) encompasses the full range of textile manufacturing operations starting from spinning to finishing garments. It is the golden goose of BEXIMCO Group. Although Bextex was set up in 1984, it didn’t begin production until 1990. Two years later, it was listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange. 
Located inside the BEXIMCO industrial park, Bextex supplies 44 million garments to international buyers every year.

A Bextex factory worker earns $110 a month on average, higher than Bangladesh’s minimum wage, which is $43.

The group plans to expand the textiles business through capacity additions. Post-expansion, the annual capacity of knit fabric is expected to increase to 80 million pounds from 11 million pounds currently, and the annual capacity of apparel knits is expected to reach 145 million pieces from 20 million pieces.

The group’s global clients are blue chip brands like Zara, one of the world’s largest international fashion companies, and Cal-vin Klein, a globally leading fashion design and marketing studio, among others.

Exporter of pharmaceuticals to 45 countries BEXIMCO is also the largest exporter of pharmaceuticals in Bangladesh with a presence in 45 countries. The Pharmaceuticals division manufactures and sells generic pharmaceutical formulation products, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and intravenous (IV) fluids.

The largest ceramics exporter in Bangladesh BEXIMCO’s ceramics division, Shinepukur Ceramics Ltd., was established in 1997 and is the largest ceramics exporter in Bangladesh. The company produces 15 metric tons (MT) per day of high quality porcelain and 3MT per day of bone china tableware; however, the group plans to expand bone china capacity by 4.5MT per day. The manufacturing facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art testing and quality control laboratory facilities, decal and carton packaging plants, a modeling unit and a gas based captive power plant, and the best effluent discharge mechanisms.

For the upper echelons of the global tabletop industry, Shinepukur produces world-class bone china, using only top quality raw materials, sourced by highly reputed suppliers from all corners of the globe. These are meticulously crafted and transformed into exquisite bone china tabletop, mirroring a unique blend of eye-catching shapes, enviable translucency, durability, all of it with a lead and cadmium-free glaze.
