Our Mission “Our mission is to provide value at an economic cost, progress in diversity, and continue to contribute to the growth of industrialization in Bangladesh by being the market challenger” In 1994, Mr. M. A. Hashem, Chairman of Partex Group visited an International Trade Exhibition in the US, where he happened to meet the executives of Royal Crown Cola Co. International. From then on he started conceptualizing the idea of “RC” beverage brand in Bangladesh. With international brand name recognition and quality he expected that it would gain acceptability in the Bangladesh market. When he returned, a wide range of marketing research was carried out by Partex as well as RC International. After positive results, in 1996, the Corporate Head and the Directors formed Partex Beverage Ltd. Mr. Rubel Aziz, one of the pioneers of the concept of RC, was given the position of Managing Director. Funds worth Tk. 10 Crore were raised as part of Equity from the Group. Although registered as a Public Limited Company, no public offerings have been made as yet. The factory was setup in Rajendrapur, 40km away from Dhaka city. The company commenced commercial production on 6th October 1997, and RC was launched in Dhaka on 20th October 1997. This is the story of how Partex Beverage Limited became the sole official bottler of Royal Crown Cola Co. International. Now it has been almost 3 years since then, and a number of new products, in new and innovative packages have been introduced to the market. Partex Beverage has also introduced RC outside Dhaka into unexplored markets. We are proud to say that we have stuck to our mission and are now worth over Taka 80 crore (US$ 16 Million). |
