Background and History of Partex Star Group
Partex Group, which owns and operates more than 70 units and provides value to all consumers and clients, is one of the major private sector manufacturing and service-based businesses in Bangladesh. The company had a modest beginning in tobacco trade in 1959, but the wise business judgment of founding chairman, Mr. M.A. Hashem, Partex now have involved in the IT industry, food, water, soft drinks, steel containers, edible oil, wooden boards, furniture, and tobacco. The Chairman Mr. Hashem created M/S Hashem Corporation (Pvt) Ltd. in Chittagong to handle the significant import demand for food and other supplies required to meet the needs of a fledgling country in the 70s. The next natural step from importing to import substitution was the stepping stone into the industrial sector, from which has grown into the Partex Group’s current multimillion dollar, varied investment. The foundation of Partex Group success has been a devoted work force and board of directors, led by the chairman, and supported by a corporate strategy focused on the market. Almost 70 family-owned private limited firms with a significant turnover are now part of the group. This dynamic organization is constantly looking for new methods to develop and grow.

The remaining portions of the business under Partex Holdings have been retained by MA Hashem and their three other sons. The eldest son and vice chairman of the current Partex Group, Aziz Al Kaiser, told The Daily Star, “We started the break-up process in 2006 and it is now complete.
