Square Food & Beverage

What Square Food & Beverage does

Square Food & Beverage Limited (SFBL) is a Bangladesh-based packaged food manufacturer and a sister concern of the Square Group, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Dhaka with manufacturing operations at Pabna in Bangladesh's northern agricultural belt. The company sells basic and blended spices, cereals, pulses, edible oils, snacks, condiments, instant noodles, premium aromatic rice, fruit juice, and frozen foods under seven brands — Radhuni (flagship, 2001), Ruchi, Chashi, Chopstick, Aaram, Tara, and Radhuni's Kitchen — to two primary customer sets: Bangladeshi household consumers served through a national retail network, and institutional buyers (hotels including Sonargaon and Radisson, hospitals including Square Hospital, retail chains such as Family Mart, Nandon Mega Shop, Big Bazar and Meena Bazar) served through 45+ institutional distributors. Manufacturing relies on in-house proprietary processes — low-temperature grinding that preserves volatile oils, cold press expelling for mustard oil, and fully automated packaging — with ISO 9001 (since 2005), ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP, and CODEX compliance. SFBL also exports to 30 countries across Australia, Europe, North America, Africa and Asia.

SFBL's go-to-market pairs traditional above-the-line marketing — TV commercials, branded cooking programs (Shera Radhuni Season 8, Radhunir Ranna Ghor, Fantastic Chopstick, Ramadan programming), press releases and a YouTube presence — with a dual-channel distribution model (domestic retail for households and an institutional distributor network for B2B buyers). Mohammad Islam is identified as Chief Executive Officer, while Samuel S Chowdhury serves as Chairman of Square Group. Brand-building is reinforced by consecutive Best Brand Awards for Radhuni from 2021 through 2024 and a National Export Trophy for 2015-16.

Revenue mechanics are single-shot consumer packaged-goods sales through retail and institutional trade; product pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company sits inside a larger Square Group with 28,000+ group employees and $616 million USD group turnover, with Square Pharmaceuticals as the dominant sibling entity. SFBL itself does not break out stand-alone revenue, does not disclose pricing, has no disclosed app, API, AI/ML capability, or external funding rounds, and operates entirely as a privately held subsidiary of the Square Group.

Direct peers

• ACI Limited: ACI is a major Bangladeshi conglomerate with a significant food and consumer products division (ACI Foods) spanning spices, salt, condiments, and snacks. Its national retail and institutional distribution footprint closely mirrors SFBL's dual-channel model.
• MDH Spices: MDH is one of India's largest packaged spice brands with a multi-decade domestic leadership position. It is the closest international analogue to SFBL's Radhuni in terms of single-category dominance, retail brand strength, and export reach into diaspora markets.

Broad incumbents

• Nestlé Bangladesh: Nestlé Bangladesh is the regional subsidiary of a global FMCG major, dominating instant noodles (Maggi), dairy, beverages, and culinary products. It is a key multinational competitor in the same categories SFBL plays in, with far deeper marketing budgets and global supply chains.
• Tata Consumer Products: Tata Consumer Products (India) is a large listed food and beverages player spanning spices, tea, coffee, salt, and ready-to-eat with brands like Tata Sampann. Its Sampann masala range is comparable to Radhuni and it also pursues branded cross-border expansion.
• Marico Bangladesh (Marico Limited): Marico is a listed Indian FMCG major with a Bangladesh presence built around edible oils (saffola-style), hair care, and packaged foods. It is a direct comp on the edible oil line (Radhuni Sunflower, Mustard Oil) and a broader peer in branded South Asian staples.
• Dabur India: Dabur is one of India's largest listed consumer goods companies with a food and beverages portfolio including juices (Real), culinary products, and condiments. Dabur Bangladesh operates in the same beverage and culinary categories as SFBL's Aaram and Radhuni.

Regional players

• BD Foods (Bangladesh): BD Foods is a Bangladeshi listed food company with a portfolio of branded spices, ready mixes, and culinary ingredients sold domestically and exported. It is one of the closest local mid-sized peers to SFBL with overlapping spice and ready-mix categories.

Others

• Abdul Monem & Sons (Abul Khair Group / related FMCG): Abul Khair Group is a Bangladeshi conglomerate with food and consumer brands, institutional food supply capabilities, and distribution scale. It overlaps with SFBL on institutional food supply to hotels, hospitals, and retail chains rather than on consumer spice brand positioning.
