RFL ventures into grass mat exports

RFL, one of Bangladesh’s leading business conglomerates, has embarked on exporting grass mats, marking a significant milestone in its diversification efforts. 

The group initiated this venture by shipping its first consignment of 'Support' brand grass mats to the Philippines. 

The export was facilitated by RFL Plastics Limited, a concern of the RFL Group, from its manufacturing facility located at Danga Industrial Park in Narsingdi.

Md Jahangir Alam, Executive Director of RFL Plastics Limited, highlighted the importance of this achievement. "Grass mats are widely used for enhancing the beauty of building interiors and exteriors, creating playgrounds, and various landscaping purposes. Previously, Bangladesh relied on imports to meet domestic demand for this product. However, with our production, we are now significantly contributing to fulfilling local needs while reducing import dependence. This not only supports the national economy but also helps save valuable foreign currency," he said.

Ahsan Habib, Chief Operating Officer of RFL Plastics Limited, expressed pride in the company’s latest accomplishment. "We are thrilled to have successfully exported 'Support' branded grass mats for the first time. The international market has recognized both the quality and production capacity of our products. Today, we are not only meeting domestic demand but are also capable of catering to international markets," he said.

Habib further outlined the company’s future plans, saying, "There is substantial demand for grass mats in European and North American countries. We are preparing to expand our exports to these regions soon. To achieve this, we have already taken initiatives to enhance our factory’s production capacity."

The successful export of grass mats to the Philippines is a testament to RFL’s commitment to innovation, quality, and global competitiveness. 

By venturing into international markets, the company aims to position itself as a key player in the global landscaping and construction materials sector while continuing to strengthen its foothold in the domestic market.
