JMS Group started its maiden journey with the establishment of a trading company in 1985. The first industrial venture of the group, a RMG industry, namely Fashion Product Ltd, was established in 1994 with 140 machines and 300 workers. Fueled by increasing demand for textile products from its western clients and considering own business potential, the management decided to set up new RMG factories and also diversify the business. The business grew faster and by one and a half decade turned into a group of companies to stand a total of 9 (nine) companies including 3 RMG factories having more than 7000 workers/employees and above 4500 machines with sustained good will. The other ventures are, agro-based and service sector industries like shipping firm, P & I Correspondent Company etcetera.
Mr. Mahmud Ali is the founder and Mr. Mustafa Mahmud is Managing Director of the group companies. He received best RMG Manufacturer’s award from the Prime Minister of Peoples Republic of Bangladesh for Chittagong region for the year 2002. Again received similar award from Commerce Minister of the country for the year 2012.
The RMG Industries of the Group became a symbol of excellence in Production, Compliance and CSR issues, which are lauded in their case study report by Boston Consulting Group of USA published in 2015, under “Let’s Work Program” sponsored by the Consortium of Major European Development Investment Banks.
