SR Group has set up a chemical manufacturing plant in Bogura, the largest of its kind in the northern region of the country, at an investment of Tk 850 crore. The project went into operation last month.
Located on 35 acres of land in the Mirzapur area on the Dhaka-Rangpur highway under Sherpur upazila, SR Chemical Industries was established last year and started producing caustic soda on December 16.
So far, it has manufactured more than 650 tonnes of liquid caustic and 450 tonnes of caustic soda and sold them in the domestic market.
Dec. 16 2020 Ribbon Cutting Ceremony IPP and BCMC have been delighted to serve as the plant supplier for the Chlor-Alkali plant. This challenging project in a remote rural area of Northern Bangladesh was only able to be accomplished through a close collaboration of BCMC, SR Chemical, and IPP. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed the final installation and testing work due to travel restrictions and health precautions, but BCMC and SR Chemical s talented project teams managed to revise their work plans to accommodate for the changing circumstances without stopping the project s progress, said Ross Gale, Vice President of International Process Plants.
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
