Multiple Trading

What Multiple Trading does

Multiple Trading, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is a privately held importer and distributor of electrical products serving the country's industrial and construction sectors. It operates as a sister concern of Active Corporation (established 1992) and functions as the authorized ABB distributor in Bangladesh for Low and Medium Voltage products, sourcing directly from ABB SACE in Italy and ABB STOTZ-KONTAKT GmbH in Germany. Its product portfolio spans miniature circuit breakers (System pro M compact S 200), moulded case circuit breakers (SACE Tmax XT and Tmax T up to 3200A), air circuit breakers (SACE Emax up to 6300A), medium voltage vacuum circuit breakers (Vmax up to 17.5 kV), AF contactors and UA..RA capacitor switching contactors, QCap low voltage capacitors, and Panasonic switchgear and wiring devices. The company also supplies equipment, machinery, and raw materials for power and distribution transformer manufacturing plants and delivers turn-key electro mechanical plants (welding gun stations, jigs) for automobile body manufacturing.

The company's customer base is concentrated in Bangladesh and consists of transformer manufacturers, switchgear fabricators, low voltage panel builders, industrial and commercial complexes, and construction contractors. It earns revenue through one-time B2B sales on a quote-based, per-order pricing model with no publicly disclosed pricing. GTM motion is direct distribution: Multiple Trading imports from international manufacturers and sells directly to enterprise customers within Bangladesh, supported by a company website with downloadable product catalogues and direct email and phone contact. The core technology, if any, resides in the ABB product lines distributed (including Modbus-enabled trip units and Bluetooth connectivity on premium ACBs), rather than in proprietary systems owned by Multiple Trading. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, no public listing, and no parent company other than operational alignment with Active Corporation.

Regional players

• Bajaj Electricals: Indian electrical and lighting major with presence in consumer and industrial electrical distribution. Operates in adjacent South Asian markets with a similar mix of branded third-party and own-brand electrical products routed through authorized distributors.
• C&S Electric: Indian switchgear and power equipment manufacturer producing low and medium voltage circuit breakers and panel builder components. Competes for the same panel builder and transformer manufacturer end customers Multiple Trading serves, with growing export reach into neighboring Bangladesh.
• Polycab India: Indian electrical products company expanding from cables into switchgear and EPC-adjacent electrical supplies. Operates through regional distributors across South Asia, paralleling Multiple Trading's role as the local Bangladesh channel for premium European electrical brands.
• Havells India: Indian electrical major with a broad portfolio of switchgear, circuit protection, capacitors and wiring devices and an extensive authorized-distributor model across South Asia. Comparable in that it combines manufacturing scale with a regional authorized-distributor GTM similar to Multiple Trading's.
• Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Electrical & Automation: Indian-headquartered electrical conglomerate manufacturing low and medium voltage switchgear, MCBs, MCCBs, ACBs and contactors with a regional South Asia distribution footprint. Closest regional manufacturer-distributor comparable in product mix and end-customer focus to Multiple Trading's ABB offering.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric: Global incumbent in low and medium voltage switchgear, circuit breakers, contactors and capacitors — the exact product set Multiple Trading distributes through ABB. Competes for the same panel builder, transformer manufacturer, and industrial complex customers, and frequently uses authorized distributors in emerging markets like Bangladesh.
• Siemens: Major global manufacturer of low and medium voltage circuit breakers, switchgear, contactors and motor protection. Operates in Bangladesh through its own channel network and is a direct alternative source for the transformer manufacturer, switchgear fabricator, and panel builder customers Multiple Trading serves.
• Legrand: Global incumbent in electrical and digital building infrastructures, with a strong portfolio of circuit protection, switchgear, and wiring devices that competes with both Multiple Trading's ABB low-voltage lines and its Panasonic switchgear/wiring devices line in Bangladesh.
• ABB: Global leader in electrification products (the very SACE Tmax, Emax and Vmax lines Multiple Trading distributes). While ABB is principally a manufacturer, it is the closest incumbent in the same product category and represents both Multiple Trading's principal supplier and the broader competitive context for low/medium voltage distribution in Bangladesh.
• Eaton: Global electrical power management incumbent producing moulded case circuit breakers, air circuit breakers, and medium voltage switchgear that overlap Multiple Trading's ABB-sourced portfolio. Targets the same industrial and commercial complex customers in South Asia.
