SR Chemical is proud to bring over 1,000 technical jobs to the rural Sherpur, Bogura community, providing demanded chemicals for the textile, paper, water treatment, and disinfectant industries domestically as well as abroad. The plant's business will have a significant economic impact to the area surrounding plant's location and throughout Bangladesh," stated Mr. Asif Rabbani, SR Chemical's Managing Director. "We are very pleased that despite the challenges in implementing a remote greenfield project during COVID-19 with a critical international team, the largest industrial plant in the country's northern region has been commissioned in 2020. Our plant is critical to Bangladesh's growth as a major industrial player and a growing exporter of chemical products," added Mr. Rabbani. "We view this Bogura plant project as a foundation for our future growth across the chemicals sector."
