Golden Son Ltd will start marketing solar lights and computer casings from early next year.
The company has already started producing light emitting diode (LED) modules for solar lights and central processing unit (CPU) casings for computers, said Belal Ahmed, managing director of Golden Son.
“We will start marketing the LED modules and CPU casings from early next year.”
The company has got approval for raising an additional capital of around Tk 145 crore through issuing rights share.
Golden Son will also offer one rights share for every one share at a price of Tk 30, including Tk 20 as premium.
It makes an array of products — aerosols, household items, perfumes, body sprays, air-fresheners, garment accessories, toys, fans and fan accessories.
“We will sell 3-watt to 100-watt solar lights at reasonable prices,” said Ahmed.
The price of a three-watt solar module, capable of running one bulb and one mobile charger, will be Tk 4,000.
The company says the lifespan of the bulbs will be 50,000 hours and that of the module 25 years.
“We want to cater to the local and world markets,” said Ahmed, adding that Golden Son aims to make up to 10 lakh pieces of such LED lights in the first year of production.
He also said the company would produce five lakh pieces of computer casings of different sizes and two lakh pieces of solar fan annually.
Each Golden Son share was traded between Tk 112 and Tk 116.30 on the Dhaka Stock Exchange yesterday.
