To understand any company’s astronomical rise in any industry, it’s imperative to understand the story of the said company.  The story of HATIL, the country’s leading furniture brand, started at a small timber shop in Dhaka’s Farashganj, by the bank of the Buriganga River, almost 60 years ago.   In the firm hands of Alhaj Habibur Rahman, H.A. Timber Industries Limited took shape and became one of the prominent timber businesses in Farashganj, which was then Dhaka’s biggest timber hub.  Over the next 32 years, before HATIL’s formal beginning in 1989, H.A. Timber Industries Limited positioned itself as a key player in the country’s timber industry.  “He was a visionary man with a great reputation,” HATIL’s Company Secretary Md. Rezaul Karim ndc said about the founding chairman.
