Paragon Group

What Paragon Group does

Paragon Group is a privately-held Bangladesh-based diversified conglomerate founded in 1982 and headquartered at Paragon House, 5 Mohakhali C/A, Dhaka 1212. The group operates an integrated farm-to-fork platform spanning poultry farming, dairy, fish farming, animal feed production, food processing, footwear, plastics, consumer goods, and emerging healthcare and renewable energy operations, employing more than 14,000 workers across its portfolio. Core wholly-owned subsidiaries include Aqua Breeders Ltd. (fish breeding), Bay Chicks Ltd. (poultry and chick production), and Paragon Feed Ltd. (animal feed manufacturing), which together anchor the group's vertical integration from genetics and feed through processing.

The group's technology and operating model rests on this vertical integration: owned poultry farms, feed mills, and processing plants handle slaughtering, packaging, and cold storage in-house, enabling quality control across the value chain. Paragon is investing in renewable energy through plans to install more than 30 megawatts of rooftop solar capacity across its factory operations and is developing a 10-acre healthcare project comprising a hospital and nursing institute. The group is concurrently repositioning itself as a global investment platform and is actively pursuing UAE-based strategic partnerships to extend internationally.

Paragon generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of agricultural produce, processed foods, animal feed, footwear, and plastics. Its go-to-market combines direct B2B enterprise sales to international wholesale and retail buyers across more than 40 countries (including the UK, Europe, Saudi Arabia, Japan, France, and India) with direct-to-consumer distribution within Bangladesh through its own retail and subsidiary network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no revenue figure is available in the source material.
