PHP Float Glass Industries, a subsidiary of PHP Family, has commenced the production of decorative glass at its Mirsharai facility in Chattogram. The company aims to meet the demand for stained glass, frosted glass, textured glass, and etched glass used in interior and exterior designs of commercial buildings, hotels, malls, and upscale residential projects.
Currently, Bangladesh imports approximately Tk 30 crore worth of decorative glass annually from countries like China, India, Turkey, and Europe. By offering decorative glass at competitive prices ranging from Tk 130 to Tk 270 per square foot, PHP expects to create a demand of Tk 100 crore within three years. The company has invested Tk 50 crore in acquiring equipment from Italy to expand its float glass manufacturing capabilities and produce a new range of products. The growing construction and interior design sectors in Bangladesh have fueled the demand for decorative glass due to rapid urbanization and infrastructural development.
