 BPGMEA expects 20pc yearly growth in domestic sales

X-onics Ltd, a UK-Bangladesh joint venture company, organised a free workshop for engineers and technicians on digital manufacturing and digital reverse engineering for mold, dice and spare parts in Gazipur on Saturday. X-onics, which started its operations in August 2021 with a technical collaboration with Mitsubishi Materials Corporation Hard Metal, India, is the first company in Bangladesh that provides digital manufacturing, reverse engineering and computerised simulation support in precision engineering and fast solution for spare parts, mold and pattern reproduction using sophisticated 3D scanning, printing, and CNC technologies. While virtually addressing the inaugural session of the workshop, technical consultant of the company Dr Mahbubunnabi Tamal said that plastic goods worth more than Tk 28,000 crore are sold in the local market of Bangladesh every year. To produce this amount of plastic goods, around Tk 10,000 core of injection mold is required and only 30-40 per cent of these are facilitated by local entrepreneurs, explained Dr Tamal, also an associate professor at Dammam University, KSA, and former researcher at The University of Manchester, UK. If Bangladesh can capture 1.0 per cent of the world market, it is possible to export products worth more than Tk 6,000 crore every year.
