History[edit | edit source]

The inception of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. traces back to 1976, shortly after the independence of Bangladesh, when the country was in dire need of developing its own industrial base for economic development. The founders of the Beximco Group, Salman F Rahman and Sohail F Rahman, envisioned a company that could meet the healthcare needs of the Bangladeshi population while also contributing to the national economy through exports.

The company's product portfolio includes generics for a variety of therapeutic areas, including but not limited to, anti-infectives, cardiovascular, antidiabetics, respiratory, and oncology drugs. Beximco Pharmaceuticals is also known for its pioneering efforts in introducing new drug delivery systems to the Bangladeshi market.
