RFL has started exporting PVC sanitary fittings to the United Kingdom.

RFL, a leading business conglomerate, has started exporting PVC sanitary fittings to the United Kingdom (UK).

The first consignment of sanitary fittings was sent to the UK from the RFL Pipe & Fittings factory at Habiganj Industrial Park in Habiganj recently, says a statement on Monday.

"We have entered the European market by exporting the fittings to the UK. We have already shipped 20 tonnes of fittings in our first consignment from our factory," said Debashish Sarkar, Head of Marketing of RFL Fittings.

"Soon, we will export our fittings to Oman. Our team is also working on sending PVC fittings to the USA," he added.

In the past, about 90 per cent of the total pipes and fittings used in Bangladesh were imported from different countries, including China, India and Malaysia.

"But now the situation has changed a lot. Almost all the pipes and fittings used in the country are made by local producers, with RFL leading the sector," said Md Jahangir Alam, Executive Director of RFL Plastics Limited.

RFL Fittings has started its export venture by sending products to India. Currently, RFL Pipe and Fittings are exporting its products to some countries, including India, Nepal, Brunei, Samoa and Ghana.
