 RB Group, the first local company to start producing refrigerators and other electronic goods, offers refrigerators at 20-30 per cent reduced rates compared to other imported foreign refrigerators
Walton, a brand of RB Group, offers a 10-cft refrigerator at Tk. 20,700 while a similar size imported refrigerator is selling between Tk 30,000 and Tk 33,000, says a showroom manager of Walton at Bashundhara City.
The group recently launched commercial production of refrigerators at its manufacturing plant in Gazipur.
The plant of Walton Hitech Industries now produces about 0.60 million units of refrigerators against demand for 0.40 million units in the country. Company officials hope that the locally made refrigerators would be exported Thailand, South Korea and some African countries, including Sudan, from July as negotiations are on to sign the export deals.
Marcel, another brand of the company, also offer refrigerators at a similar price. |
