US Ambassador to Bangladesh Dan W Mozena Tuesday said his vision of Bangladesh as the next Asian tiger is already reality there at Eskayef, a pharmaceutical company.
“The future is here,” he said while visiting a plant of Eskayef Bangladesh Ltd at Tongi where Eskayef Chairman Latifur Rahman and Chief Executive Officer Simeen Hossain were also present.
“Eskayef is delighted to host ambassador Mozena and share the initiatives taken by Eskayef towards manufacturing high quality medicines as per the cGMP guidelines of
UKMHRA, VMD UK and TGA Australia,” said Simeen.
She said her company remained highly committed to environmental safety. As a leading player of the country’s pharmaceutical industry, the company has been playing a
role in catalysing economic growth and development of Bangladesh, Simeen said.
“We feel privileged to be able to offer world-class medicines to the domestic market as well as exporting those to 19 countries, including European Union, Australia,
Africa and Asia.”
Besides, Eskayef also exports its veterinary products to the UK and Nepal, she said. “We are delighted with the ambassador’s keen interest in product quality and
technology.”
During the visit to the state-of-the-art plant, Mozena was briefed about the manufacturing process along with the stringent quality assurance, commitment towards clean
environment and good manufacturing practices (GMP) compliant distribution system of Eskayef.
The ambassador spent some time reviewing the welfare, health and safety of the employees, Eskayef said in a statement yesterday.
