Bangladesh joined the selected group of countries that manufacture world-class personal protection equipment in a large scale. Beximco Group is now an exporter of the PPE. It exported 6.5 million personal protective equipment to US brand Hanes.
“Beximco has proudly joined the fight against the global pandemic by moving swiftly to add manufacturing capabilities in PPE items such as gowns, masks and coveralls,” said Beximco Group Director Syed Naved Husain. He said COVID-19 had changed how the world works, and that Beximco had to urgently respond.
State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Md Shahriar Alam, and US Ambassador Earl Miller were present at Shahjalal International Airport to send off Beximco’s first shipment of PPE to the US. Shahriar lauded the role of Beximco’s contribution to Bangladesh’s economy.He said like the rest of the world Bangladesh is also facing toughest times and trying to cope with this pandemic. “And in these trying times, it’s remarkable to see that within this short span of two months Bangladesh was able to foray into this very regulated market with such a sensitive healthcare product with just not ten or twenty thousand pieces but six and a half million pieces. What an achievement!” he said.
“The US welcomes Bangladesh’s world-class and large-scale PPE production to the global marketplace. The Beximco-Hanes partnership is another great example of how our two great nations are combating the COVID-19 pandemic,” the U.S. ambassador said.
Nazmul Hassan MP, managing director of Beximco Pharma, termed the event historic. He said in the initial days of pandemic, there was huge local demand for PPE and Beximco took the initiative of providing PPEs to local healthcare services through import. “But there was severe shortage globally as demand was increasing. We, therefore, decided to produce them to meet the demand. Today we are not only providing PPE to our local healthcare services but also exporting them to very highly regulated sensitive markets,” he said.
