Later Rahman created in 1972 the Bangladesh
Export and Import Company (Beximco Group), exporting seafood and crushed bones to Belgium, France, the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands
At that time, the Foreign exchange control by the Government of Bangladesh was very strict, so they were forced to
import medicines to collect their exports

company from raw materials to a leading and diversified group
with a presence in industrial sectors that account for almost 75% of the GDP of Bangladesh
The mission of the group is “Taking Bangladesh to the world”
