M.S INTERNATIONAL

What M.S INTERNATIONAL does

M.S. International is a privately held trading and international representation company headquartered in Dhaka, Bangladesh, founded in 1984. The company operates as a House of International Trades, holding exclusive or authorized representation rights for five international manufacturers — Forain s.r.l. (Italy), Corrpro Companies Europe Limited (UK), Zunt Italiana S.r.l. (Italy), Zhejiang Yuxi Corrosion Control Corporation (China), and Jining Xunda Pipe Coating Materials Co. Ltd. (China) — and additionally represents other EEC and USA principals on a case-to-case basis.

The company's core offerings comprise specialized industrial equipment and materials for gas transmission, distribution, and processing infrastructure: high pressure vessels (filter separators, water bath gas heaters, liquid separators, pipeline pig traps), cathodic protection materials, high pressure insulating joints, and pipe coating and wrapping materials. These products serve gas process plants, regulating and metering stations, and gas transmission/distribution pipeline networks.

M.S. International earns revenue through commissions or margins on sales of represented principals' products to Bangladeshi customers, functioning as a B2B intermediary rather than a manufacturer or technology developer. Its customer base is almost exclusively composed of Bangladesh government-owned oil, gas, and power sector companies, including Titas Gas, Bakhrabad Gas, Gas Transmission Co., Pashchimanchal Gas, Sundarban Gas, Jalalabad Gas, Sylhet Gas Fields, Bangladesh Power Development Board, and Haripur Power. The company employs 55 people, maintains a lean direct enterprise sales motion, and operates only within Bangladesh. Following the 2025 passing of founder M Shahid Ullah (1956-2025), Shoukhin Hawlader assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Worley Limited: Global energy project and engineering services company with extensive Bangladesh gas and power sector presence. Operates at much larger scale and broader scope but overlaps in serving the same government-owned oil, gas, and power customers.
• Petrofac Limited: International energy services and equipment provider with Bangladesh operations supporting gas and power infrastructure. Wider portfolio than M.S. International but competes for the same specification-driven gas-sector supply opportunities.

Others

• Forain s.r.l. Italian manufacturer of high-pressure vessels (filter separators, water bath gas heaters, pig traps) and M.S. International's longest-standing principal since 1984. Relevant as a counterparty whose agency decisions drive M.S. International's competitive position.
• Pashchimanchal Gas Company Limited: Bangladesh government-owned gas distribution company and an existing customer of M.S. International. Included as an ecosystem participant whose procurement decisions directly determine M.S. International's order flow.
• Corrpro Companies Europe Limited: UK-based manufacturer of cathodic protection materials and an existing principal of M.S. International. Included as an ecosystem participant (principal) whose direct dealings and alternative channel decisions materially shape M.S. International's product access.
