Industry Association Watch
sector association · paper
The BPMA is currently focused on addressing existential threats to the domestic paper industry caused by high production costs, gas supply shortages, and banking restrictions hindering raw material imports.
Official BPMA site president-profile page lists Ahmed Akbar Sobhan (founder, Bashundhara Group) as president, with Safwan Sobhan as vice president and Mustafa Kamal Mohiuddin as general secretary. The site does not show a dated term, and the listing may not reflect any post-2024 change, so president_since is null and status is partial pending an independent second source. HQ recorded as Dhaka (Bashundhara R/A address on site). Distinct from the similarly-acronymed Bangladesh Paper Merchants Association. Founding year and member count not verified.
