A nine-member delegation from Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), led by its Vice-Chairman AHM Ahsan, visited Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC Headquarter in Gazipur on Saturday.

The EPB Vice-Chairman (VC) noted that Walton has been achieving great success on the exports of domestically finished electronics and electrical goods, Walton said in statement.

“Walton tops in the Bangladesh market. Now, their target is to expand business in the global market. In this case, we need to promote the brand of Bangladesh as well as ‘Made in Bangladesh’ tagged products in the global arena,” EPB VC said assuring to provide all necessary assistance for export increase.

The other delegation members were EPB Director-General Mahbubur Rahman, Secretary Iftikher Ahmed Chowdhury, Directors Mohammad Shahjalal and Kumkum Sultana, Deputy Director Rakhi Ahmed, Assistant Directors Munira Sharmin and Mozibur Rahman and Staff Officer Moinul Islam.

While expressing his opinion, EPB VC said, “I have heard a lot about Walton’s factory. I knew it was too big, but I didn’t know it was so big. Coming here today, our idea about Walton became more mature. We are very happy.”

EPB Director General said, “Bangladesh’s exports in the electronics sector have started with Walton. Others are trying to follow them. We have a lot of potential here.”

“Walton’s market share in Bangladesh is more than 60 per cent. Now, Walton is increasing the export volume of their products abroad. We are ready to provide necessary assistance to all, including Walton, to increase the export of electronics products made in Bangladesh to the world market,” he added.

Earlier, the delegations were welcomed at the Walton Headquarter with flower bouquet by the company’s senior officials.
