Our Company

Octagon Fibres and Chemicals Ltd. or better known by one of its brands, Aqua Paints, is a leading domestic paints and coatings manufacturer and a major producer of specialty chemicals. The company’s origin can be traced back to Late Serajuddin Ahmed, one of the illustrious business pioneers of Bangladesh, who founded “Kumir Marka Alkatra" in 1952 and was responsible for setting up businesses in banking, construction, garments, insurance and many more. Forecasting the growing demand of industrial grade paints around the bustling capital city Dhaka, his eldest and youngest sons started a state of art manufacturing unit in Tongi, Gazipur, subsequently launching the Aqua Paints brand in 2001. The brand is one of few in Bangladesh where quality is never compromised. Raw materials are sourced from global suppliers in Germany, France, Switzerland, and Vietnam. Through backward linkage, it manufactures several intermediate raw materials including different variants of acrylic emulsions and alkyd resins.
