Some of the big players are: Rangs Group, Transcom, Bashundhara, Nasir Group of Industries, Meghna Group of Industries, Abdul Monem, Rahimafrooz Bangladesh, Nassa Group, Bengal Group of Industries, BRB, Drug International, United Group, Kazi Firms, City Group, Jamuna Group and Incepta Pharmaceuticals.
