Two Hong Kong–China–owned companies—DJ Copper Co Ltd and GRX Technology (BD) Co Ltd—are set to invest a combined $70.66 million to establish manufacturing facilities at the BEPZA Economic Zone (EZ) in Mirsharai, Chattogram, marking another strong step forward for Bangladesh’s industrial growth and export diversification.
Under the newly signed agreements, DJ Copper Co Ltd will invest $50.66 million to set up a state-of-the-art factory producing a wide portfolio of light engineering and copper-based products. These include copper wire, copper sheets, hardware, cable lines, zipper teeth, brass wire, and electronic accessories such as switch plates and button logos. The company will construct its own factory on 21,600 square metres of allocated land and is expected to generate employment for 535 workers.
Meanwhile, GRX Technology (BD) Co Ltd will invest $20 million to manufacture essential garment accessories, including zippers, YG sliders, zinc alloy sliders, snap buttons, logos, buttons, and belt buckles. Its production facility, to be built on 14,400 square metres of land, is projected to create 570 jobs
The agreements were formalised today at the BEPZA Complex in Dhaka, signed by Md Ashraful Kabir, Member (Investment Promotion) of the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA); Zhang Na, Managing Director of GRX Technology; and Zhang Junfeng, Managing Director of DJ Copper.
Maj Gen Mohammad Moazzem Hossain, Executive Chairman of BEPZA, attended the ceremony as chief guest. He expressed gratitude to the investors for choosing Bangladesh—particularly BEPZA EZ—as their investment destination, noting its strong global reputation for offering a secure, efficient, and business-friendly environment.
He highlighted that foreign investors, especially from China, continue to show unwavering confidence in BEPZA due to Bangladesh’s stable investment climate and the authority’s consistent service standards. He encouraged both companies to begin construction immediately to take advantage of the ongoing dry season, assuring them of BEPZA’s full cooperation throughout the setup process.
The new investments further reinforce the growing appeal of the BEPZA Economic Zone as a preferred hub for international manufacturing and export-oriented industries.
