Meghna Group of Industries (MGI) has entered into the local ceramic sector with its brand Fresh Ceramic.

The MGI has invested nearly Tk 500 crore to set up ceramic manufacturing facilities at Ashariar Char in Narayanganj's Sonargaon area and has created around 1,000 jobs in its factory.

The demand of ceramic tiles has been increasing thanks to the growing urbanisation, which encouraged the group to invest in ceramic sector, the group said in a statement.

The MGI started construction of its ceramic production facility in January 2019 and now it has started commercial production in full swing.
