Procter & Gamble Pakistan, headquartered in Karachi, commenced operations in Pakistan in 1991. Our goal was to become the finest global consumer goods company operating locally in Pakistan. To fulfill this goal, we are serving Pakistani consumers with premium quality brands including Head & Shoulders, Pantene, Ariel, Safeguard, Pampers and Always that strive to make everyday lives better. |

With commitment came growth, and in 1994 we acquired a soap-manufacturing facility sprawling seven acres of land at Hub, Balochistan. In 2002, the plant tripled its soap-manufacturing capacity with an investment of $3 million. In 2004, with an initial investment of about half a million U.S. dollars, a PUR facility was set up with a production capacity of 50 million sachets of the water purifier annually. The P&G Hub plant is the first of its kind in the world. It provides people access to safe drinking water and is able to export millions of liters across the globe. Today, the Hub plant is equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies and quality assurance processes and systems, reflecting the company's values of safe, hygienic and ethical manufacturing practices.
P&G Pakistan headquarters are consistently upgraded to the company's progressive values. Investments of $ 1.6 million have taken place in the work-space environment to date. The P&G Pakistan head office today hosts high-speed digital networks and advanced systems and facilities.
As a company with vast global experience, P&G has always believed in the potential Pakistan has as a country. Since 1989, the total amount invested by P&G Pakistan in assets, working capital and market development is approximately $ 100 million. In addition, Procter & Gamble contributed Rs 4.3 billion to the national exchequer in the form of taxes and duties in 07/08, increasing 22 percent over the previous year.
Strengthening its commitment to invest further in Pakistan, P&G recently broke ground for its second manufacturing facility in Pakistan. The launch of this manufacturing facility is testimony of P&G’s successful history in the country and symbolizes P&G’s confidence that Pakistan will continue to provide a stable and conducive business environment over the long-term. This project involves an investment of about US$100 million and is P&G’s largest single investment in the country to date.The facility is expected to improve local industrialization prospects by creating tremendous potential opportunity of business over the next few years. With the plant occupying only one-third of the total 25 acres of land acquired, provision has been built in for future expansion projects.
P&G has attracted outstanding individuals since the day it began operations in Pakistan. The company presently employs more than 300 people, 99 percent of which are Pakistanis and creates more than 4,000 jobs indirectly in Pakistan. All this makes P&G a more locally focused company.
