The BTIL was launched in collaboration with a German firm in 1995. Initially, it was named as Freyschmidt Tissue Limited. In the year 2002, the name was changed to reflect the Group's corporate identity as was named as the Bashundhara Tissue Industries Limited. The company maintains excellent quality standards and has earned the coveted quality management certification, the ISO 9002.

The BTIL is currently the largest retailer if tissue paper products in Bangladesh. The products manufactured at the BTIL are listed in the “Products” link. This company was established at a time when the use of tissue and allied products was not so common. The advent of these items in the domestic market has tangibly transformed personal hygiene standards of the common people. The BTIL plays a vital role as an important import-substitution industry and has recently begun limited exports.

The Bashundhara Group’s pride export product, the Monalisa Sanitary Napkin, is manufactured by the BTIL. The napkin manufacturing plant makes use of imported raw material and a modern German production technology. This technology and the same brand of plant are being used in many parts of the world, including countries in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe and the Americas.

Perfect hygienic conditions are applied at every step of the production processes deployed at the BTIL. The technology is automated, including the final packaging and product-sealing method. Consequently, there is simply no room for any member of the plant’s personnel to touch any component of the BTIL’s range of products, not even during its final packaging phase. Bashundhara guarantees that the entire range of hygiene and personal body-care items, marketed by the BTIL, is completely safe and reliable.
