I got some reply from interested companies for the following invitation to
participate in technology transfer, training skilled manpower, joint venture
and financing the project. The above emails seems relevant.Any cooperation
in this regard from equipment manufacturers, raw materials suppliers are
urged to contact or anyone technical person can recommend the good equipment
manufacturers, raw materials suppliers.
Thanks in advance for your time and cooperation.I apolizes if I have taken
anyone valuable time.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Sub: Invitation to cooperate to build a printed circuit board manufacturing
Plant in Bangladesh.
Dear Sir
We are implementing a double sided and multi-layer PCB manufacturing plant
in Bangladesh. We invite you to duplicate the PCB manufacturing plant of
your country in Bangladesh.
The reasons for selecting Bangladesh:
The key incentives to come to Bangladesh are the lowest infrastructure, the
lowest overhead expenses, and the cheapest skilled and unskilled labor in
the world. The Board of Investment of Bangladesh put the following
advertisement:
Bangladesh has the lowest cost to production ratio in the world. Which means
that no matter what you make, it will be much, much more economical to make
it in Bangladesh. Add to that fact we have one of the lowest inflation rates
in the whole of Asia, and a pro-investment policies have encouraged some of
the biggest names in the business to set up operations in Bangladesh. Names
like UNILEVER, BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO, HOECHST, BATA, CIBA-GEIGY, BASF,
MARUBENI, CHIYDA, SINGER, SIEMENS, TOOTAL, NESTLE, AKZO NOBEL,NEW ZEALAND
DAIRY BOARD, KUOK GROUP, OCCIDENTAL, DAEWOO, HYUNDAI, BOC, RHONE POULENC RORER.
There's one name missing though, a name we'd love to add to this list.
YOURS. But you'll want to know more about what Bangladesh can do for your
business. You could write to any of the organizations, but it would be
easier to get in touch with us.
We're standing by for your call.

We invite you to join with us to make this effort a successful one and open
the window to explore unlimited opportunities that exists in this part of
the world. We are looking forward to your cooperation in technology transfer
for implementing the PCB plant, training the engineers for maintenance of
the plant, equity participation, procuring and financing of the plant
equipments. With your cooperation and guidance this project will be sure
success and will place us in a lead role in this industry. If we put our
honest and sincere effort to take the benefits of this part of the world, we
will establish a bridge to revolutionize the economy of the world. You can
devote more of your resources for improving the technology and for new
innovative efforts in your country and the repetitious work like
manufacturing can be done in Bangladesh. If we cooperate with each other we
firmly believe that this project will surpass our goal and we will be able
to deliver aggressive offshore pricing while maintaining the quality and
reliability.
With the use of new telecommunication technology in Internet such as web
phoning, we will feel no difference about this PCB Plant in Bangladesh than
compare to one in any other country. Rather it will be a better one using
the numerous advantages available in Bangladesh. The plant will be in Export
Processing Zone (EPZ) in Bangladesh. The labor situation and other
facilities in EPZ is as good as any States in USA. Using the abundant cheap
manpower available in Bangladesh we can be very prompt and can be far ahead
of the deadline of our customers in USA and other part of the world. From my
education, work experience in plants and microprocessor based device in PCB,
and business development experience in USA, we don't see any reason for our
joint venture partners in USA not go for this lucrative project.
After the completion of this project, we desire to involve ourselves in
other part of PCB industry i.e. from substrate manufacturing, assembly,
testing troubleshooting to shipping the finished product. Our group is also
advancing in the arena of hardware & software development and
telecommunication and other related high tech fields.
PCB Project:
The project under discussion is a project of 2, 4, 6 & 8 layer Printed
Circuit Board of 30,000 sqm/year at 100% capacity.
A recent study conducted by SAARC fund for regional development for Printed
Circuit Board has revealed that the projected world PCB Market by year 2000
is expected to reach US $ 31.9 billion for all types of PCBs. The market for
Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards will grow by 11% in US market. The Asian
average growth rate is estimated to increase by 10.2% from 5.2 billion
dollar in 1990.
The present estimated project cost is approx. 227 million BD. Tk. or US $
5.33 million (includes Building & Civil Works, Plant & equipment & others).
