The Success Story of Beximco & Rahman Brothers

BEXIMCO was founded in the 1970’s by two brothers – Ahmed Sohail Fasiur Rahman and Salman Fazlur Rahman. Beximco started out as a seafood and crushed bones exporter to various foreign markets. However, instead of taking the cash payment of the deal, Rahmans opted for pharmaceutical import worth the same amount. This came after the immediate need of Bangladesh for pharmaceuticals and lack of local supply. A few years later, Beximco marked the beginning of its expansion with a pharmaceutical division, Beximco Pharmaceuticals, to meet the local demands.
