of a new nation through imports.
From importing to import substitution was the next
logical step and the stepping-stone into the
manufacturing sector, which has matured to the

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, Partex as well as RC International carried out a wide
range of marketing research. After positive results, in 1996, the Corporate Head and the
Directors formed Partex Beverage Ltd. Funds worth Tk. 10 Core 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.
