The founder of Apex Polymer Group (APG), Mr. Mosharraf Husain, was a hard-working, self-made man. Prominent among his qualities was foresight, acumen and knowledge of the rubber industry. It was his hard work and determination, which established the Apex Polymer Group and put it on a sound footing. Mr. Mosharraf Husain started his industrial venture with the East Pakistan Rubber Industries at Tejgaon Industrial Area, Dhaka, as far back as 1954. It was his hard work, sincerity and honesty that made it possible for him to march forward from success to success and establish the following industries:

In 1967, he set up the Apex Industrial Corporation Ltd. in the Tongi BSCIC Industrial Estate near Dhaka along with his nephew, Barrister Abul Khair Khan. At the beginning it was an Automobile Tyre Retreading unit under the "Apex" brand and later, in 1978, it added a new product, the "EVA" based Hawaii Chappal (Beach Sandal) which was introduced for the 1st time in Bangladesh under the brand name "Mogul".
 
 


In 1970, Mr. Mosharraf Husain purchased the Northern Rubber Mfg. Co. at Tejgaon Industrial Area, Dhaka, and started manufacturing "Shahinoor" brand Hawaii Chappal (Beach Sandal) and inner tubes for Bicycles and Rickshaw Tyres under brand names "Eagle" & "Seagull" respectively.

In 1979, Mr. Mosharraf Husain & Barrister Abul Khair Khan jointly purchased the Dacca Rubber & Tyre Manufacturing Co. Ltd. at Tongi BSCIC Industrial Estate near Dhaka. To improve the quality and service they had to set up a 2nd unit of Automobile Tyre Retreading Plant and also engaged in manufacturing Bicycle & Rickshaw Tyres under the brand name "Apex Tyre"

In 1981 they jointly established another industry, named Apex Limited, at Tejgaon Industrial Area, Dhaka, and started manufacturing PVC Compound, Synthetic Rubber Sheets, Synthetic Rubber Shoe Soles, EVA Sheet (for the shoe industries) and HDPE – PP bags with 4-colour flexography printing. To support 100% export-oriented shoe industries in Bangladesh the unit started manufacturing TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) Compound & TPR base shoe soles in 1997 for the 1st time in Bangladesh. These products are being marketed under brand name Apex. Apex Limited also manufactures Butyl Inner Tubes, Butyl Curing Bags & Butyl Flaps under the brand name "Force"

Finding a ready market and earned much good will, they decided to go for a new venture. As a result in 1982 they established the Apex Foam Industry and produced PU (Polyurethane) Foam under the brand name "Apex Foam", which became extremely popular among the users for its quality. Later in 1993 they added another economical grade of PU (Polyurethane) Foam under the brand name "Shahinoor Foam".

To strengthen the hands of Mr. Mosharraf Husain his sons, Mr. Moazzem Husain and Mr. Zakir Husain joined the concern in 1983 and in 1990 respectively to make it even stronger than ever before.

To fulfill the desire to manufacture the most prestigious item in the rubber field i.e. Automobile Tyres & Tubes, Mr. Mosharraf Husain established the East Asian Cox. (Pvt.) Ltd. in 1991 at Fatullah near Dhaka. After much effort in 1996, he launched the 1st Automobile Tyres & Tubes in Bangladesh on a commercial basis under the brand name "Asian" & "Husain" along with Butyl Inner Tubes & Flaps under the brand name "Force". Besides Automobile Tyres, Tubes and Flaps, this unit also manufactures "Apex" brand Bicycle Tyres, Rickshaw Tyres and Reclaim Rubber.

Apex Polymer Corporation Limited was estabished in 1998 in Tejgaon Industrial Area, Dhaka with an aim of producing raw materials used in the rubber industry. The company produces Tyre Crumbs and Reclaimed Rubber by scientifically processing the used rubber materials.

After the demise of Mr. Mosharraf Husain on the 24th of January, 1997, Mr. Moazzem Husain and Mr. Zakir Husain became the Chairman and the Managing Director of the Apex Polymer Group (APG) respectively.
