Texas Group named 'aamra'
Texas Group, which is involved in textile, ICT, fashion and other businesses, has changed its name to 'aamra' (we), and made an announcement to expand its operations abroad.
Describing the reason for changing the name, officials said the group was facing problems with its previous name as the foreign buyers often take it as a business group from USA, which has a state named Texas.
"Few months ago we opened an office in Paris to facilitate our outsourcing business in European countries, and we will open another office in Singapore soon," Syed Faruque Ahmed, chairman of the newly named group, said at a press conference on Monday.
"The office in Singapore will be used as a regional office to operate our logistic business in some Southeast Asian countries", said Russell T Ahmed, chief operating officer of aamra networks limited, a concern of aamra.
"We distribute the products of world famous Sun Microsystems in Bangladesh. Now we are considering supplying the products to some other South Asian countries from our Singapore office," Russell added.
The word 'aamra' will be added to the names of other business entities of the group. For example, from now on Global Online Services Ltd will be known as 'aamra networks limited'.
The group started its operations 22 years ago and now has 14 different concerns. Its total number of employees is over 2,300 and yearly turnover is around Tk 350 crore.
