GeoChem on track to open office
and provide unique service to the
Apparel Industry
P
reparations for the inauguration
of GeoChem, Bangladesh office
is on full-swing. Supporting the
Global Executive Vice President,
Manish Kumar in getting the office
and lab ready is the newly appointed
General Manager of Geochem
Consumer Products Services
(CPS) Bangladesh Ltd., Mahbubur
Rahman. The pace at which
progress is being made, reflects the
commitment of the team to deliver as
promised – a new experience in third-
party consumer products services.
The success that Geochem has seen
in a short span of time in India,
despite being a new player in the
CPS segment, is praiseworthy
and the company is looking to
replicate the benchmark practices
that are the pillars of its success,
in Bangladesh too.
After much search and discussion,
the office location finalised is very
strategically placed. Housed at SB
Plaza on the Dhaka-Mymensingh
Highway in Uttara Commercial Area,
the office is just 2 km from Hazrat
Shahjalal International Airport,
17 km from Savar, 20 km
from Gazipur and 38 km from
Narayanganj. “The real challenge
was to get a location that was central
and also easily accessible. Uttara is
convenient not only to the factories in
Dhaka, but also for buyers and other
clients who are flying into the city,”
said Manish. Incidentally, Uttara is
also the location for the headquarters
of many export companies, which is
an added advantage. It also helps
that the office is on the main road
and has ample parking space.
The rented premise, covering an
area of 16,200 sq.ft. over 2 floors,
We will be
recruiting a lot
of local talent;
so beside the
benefits of
world-class
service that will
accrue to the
manufacturers,
this project
will create a
significant
opportunity for
Bangladeshi
talent.”
– Manish Kumar
