In a first for Bangladesh, Omera Cylinder Ltd, an area maker of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) containers, has recently begun exporting its goods to international markets.
Omera made the foray into global market segments after it all shipped the initial consignment of LPG cylinders to some companies found in Africa earlier this week, said Shamsul Haque Ahmed, ceo of Omera LPG.

We will be delighted that through Omera's technological knowledge, our region has expanded its affect in the foreign arena," explained Azam J Chowdhury, director of Omera Cylinders, in a news release.
Omera also hopes 1 day, the company can not only meet household demand for LPG cylinders, but also that of audience from across the world.

"We have adopted all European products and machinery to produce world-class cylinders for exports," he added.
