Our History
How it all Started...
MKR Group is a privately owned company that dates back to 1953 when its founder, Late Mr. Khalilur Rahman established a Stevedoring organization in Chittagong. Since then, it has grown into a family run business that is involved in several diverse streams of activities, which are listed under Concerns.
In the past, MKR Group mainly represented privately owned ship owners from the then West Pakistan (1952-71), until the emergence of Bangladesh. It then regrouped its agency division quickly and started the business as usual, and ultimately diversified its business activities into several divisions.
We are currently providing services in the Shipping, Trading, Ready Made Garments, Travel Agency sectors. Meanwhile, we are also developing new projects in the Dairy and FMCG sector.
We aim to provide products and services to the best of our abilities and make the country of Bangladesh better as a whole through our products and services.
