 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Berger Paints Bangladesh Limited is not only a company with reputation but is a name to the
dynamic industry which has history and the pride to be the best at what it does. Berger
Paints Bangladesh Limited often referred to as BPBL is considered to be the market leader in
Bangladesh and has a wide array of products such as Regular Coatings, Industrial Paints,
Marine Paints, Outdoor Paints Protective, Color Bank, Textured Coatings, Heat Resistant
Paints, Roofing Compounds and Epoxies and Powder Coatings & adhesives. Adhesive is not a
very regular paint channel. BPBL offer both Power Bond SH & Power Bond SR.

PowerBond SH is a premier quality water based adhesive that gives the highest bonding
strength suitable for furniture industries, this product is lacquer proof and resistant to heat
and water, having high coverage which will add value to the related industries. Power Bond
is available at the dealers' outlet across the country. The product was launched in December
2007 and has already been appreciated by the end users for its bonding performance and
high value for money.

Power Bond SR is a solvent based adhesive that guarantees maximum bonding capacity with
versatile uses. It can be used for furniture using formica, fixing upholstery, joining formica to
particle boards, joining foams in sofas, fixing tubes, tires and even leather.

There are many significant differences found between marketing of paints & adhesives in
terms of distribution channel, consumer behavior, bargaining power of channel partners and
distribution concentration. Thats why BPBL is planning to re-launch Power Bond Adhesive,
where the information of competitors products, prices, promotions, distribution system,
targeted customers, discount rate & incentives offered to the outlets and location wise sales
of adhesive products both in value and volume will be helpful. The nature of this study was a
qualitative explorative research, and information was gathered through extensive one-to-
one interviews with respondents. The researcher covered the geographical base of Dhaka
city, and samples were selected on a non-probabilistic quota sampling method.
