Cities are expanding rapidly, transforming skylines and reshaping the way people live, work, and connect. Yet the very structures that define modern life are also among the biggest contributors to climate change. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the buildings and construction sector accounts for roughly one-third of global energy demand.

Bangladesh is in the midst of a remarkable urban transformation. From the capital of Dhaka to emerging cityscapes across the nation, construction is the drumbeat of progress.

Nasir Group has become one of Bangladesh’s largest business conglomerates with a wide range of operations, including in the glass industry.

This is the plain, everyday glass found in most windows and doors. Its biggest strengths are clarity, affordability, and easy availability. This is great for spaces that need natural light.

AkijBashir Glass Industries Limited is one of the leading Bangladeshi manufacturers dedicated to producing one of the finest architectural glasses for both domestic and global markets. Positioned as ‘The Fine Glass Maker’, the company delivers products of exceptional clarity and premium quality that meet stringent European standards.
