Establishment of ACME was a great entrepreneurial effort of Late Hamidur Rahman Sinha way back in 1954 and is a vivid example of a great mind’s vision and its materialization. Post colonial Bengal was a place of great uncertainty and hardship. Industrialization facilities were meager and inadequate. One man came forward with his vision, amidst the political turmoil and utter lethargy of the then-new Government. It's not an easy task to set up a highly sophisticated industry, and moreover do it without bank loans and governmental assistance. So it demanded immense effort, strong determination along with vision and dreams.

1954 was a milestone year in the history of the pharmaceutical industry. Late Hamidur Rahman Sinha might have thought it was a private entrepreneurial effort on his part, but in reality it was a resolute and brave footstep which played a part in pioneering the present pharmaceutical industry.

At the precise moment when this visionary man established the company at Narayangonj, though on a small scale, he had actually sown the seeds of today’s burgeoning almost self-sufficient pharmaceutical industry. Now Bangladesh is exporting drugs to different countries of the world. Had Late Hamidur Rahman Sinha not taken such a courageous step, perhaps it would not have been possible for us to reach such heights of success.

It has been said that behind every successful man is a woman supporting and sustaining his efforts. We also remember his beloved wife, Mrs. Noorjahan Sinha, whose sacrifice, and unconditional support was always a source of inspiration to this visionary man.

As we celebrate ACME’s 50th anniversary they are no longer with us, but their memories will forever remain in our hearts. At this auspicious moment, we pay our homage to them.
