Alim Industries Limited

Alim Industries Limited is an agricultural machinery manufacturer based in Sylhet, Bangladesh.

History

Founded in 1990, it is both the largest and oldest agricultural equipment maker in the country. Having initially only associated with the tea processing industry in Sylhet, it later expanded to include the manufacture of general farming machinery, specialising in tillers, seeders and power threshers among others. At present, it exports its products throughout Bangladesh as well as delivering services internationally.
In 2021, free equipment from Alim was distributed by the local upazila government to 64 farmers in the Nilphamari District of Rangpur Division.
In 2022 company was cited by Bangladesh agriculture minister Dr Mohammad Abdur Razzaque as a successful local manufacturer of agricultural machinery, counterbalancing the import of machines from abroad. The current owner received the "Agriculturally Important Person" award from the government in 2022, in recognition of its development of power tillers. Alim has received assistance from the U.S.-supported Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia to help provide locally produced machines to support agriculture in the area of Cox's Bazar affected by Rohynga migration.
