 An Engine of National Economic Growth
From 1970 onwards, the group has diversified its activities
from trading to industrial production. This started with the
acquisition of Adamjee (now FECTO) Sugar Mills Limited in early
1975, followed by the establishment of Baba Farid Sugar Mills
Limited in 1978.
Bolstered by its initial successes, the group ventured into progressive manufacturing of agricultural tractors and farm equipment including agricultural implements of various types.
Another major milestone in the Group’s forward march was the establishment of a most modern and pollution-free cement plant with 2000 tons per day capacity. This also made way for the launching of such allied industries as two Paper Sack Units that are located not too far from the cement plant.
The Group manages two public-listed and Two private companies besides having substantial stakes in many other projects.
