Inland water transport:


Vice President of Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), Tariq Haleem has said that the FPCCI Standing Committee on Inland Water Transport & Flood Management has prepared a working paper and it will be presenting this to the Prime Minister of Pakistan sometime during February 2019. He said it is a historical fact that during the British Raj in 1800's, the British troops moved from Karachi to Khyber by the Inland Waterways on boats.

It is only after the start of railway that this practice stopped. When you re-commission your inland waterways then automatically flood management is done and wastage of water is curtailed. He said that lack of general awareness, absence of right policies and counterproductive regulations are the impediments of maritime sector that need to be addressed.

He said that Pakistan's maritime, seaboard and logistic sectors have enormous potential to earn for the country. However, these sectors have not been harnessed and needs government's focus, he added. He said that even a single rupee of extra cost at the ports trickles down to our masses, if a rupee is saved that saving also trickles down to the masses. We need to bring down the cost of doing business and improve our efficiency at all the ports of Pakistan, he emphasised.

Is engro a pakistani company?

In 1957, the search for oil by Pak Stanvac, an Esso/Mobil joint venture led to the discovery of the Mari Gas field near Daharki – a small, remote area in Upper Sindh province at the time. Esso proposed the establishment of a urea plant in that area which led to a fertilizer plant agreement signed in 1964. In the subsequent year, Esso Pakistan Fertilizer Company Limited was incorporated, with 75% of the shares owned by Esso and 25% by the general public.

The construction of a urea plant commenced at Daharki in 1966 and production began in 1968. At US $43 million with an annual production capacity of 173,000 tons, it was the single largest foreign investment by a multinational corporation in Pakistan at the time.

A full-fledged marketing organization was established which undertook agronomic programs to educate the farmers of Pakistan. As the nation’s first fertilizer brand, Engro (then Esso) helped modernize traditional farming practices to boost farm yields, directly impacting the quality of life not only for farmers and their families, but for the nation at large. As a result of these efforts, consumption of fertilizers increased in Pakistan, paving the way for the Company’s branded urea called “Engro”, an acronym for “Energy for Growth”.

As part of an international name change program, Esso became Exxon in 1978 and the Company was renamed Exxon Chemical Pakistan Limited. The Company continued to prosper as it relentlessly pursued productivity gains and strived to attain professional excellence.

In 1991, Exxon decided to divest its fertilizer business on a global basis. The employees of Exxon Chemical Pakistan Limited, in partnership with leading international and local financial institutions, bought out Exxon’s 75% equity. This was at the time and perhaps still is the most successful employee buy-out in the corporate history of Pakistan. Renamed as Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited, the Company has gone from strength to strength, reflected in its consistent financial performance, growth of the core fertilizer business, and diversification into other businesses.

Along the way, a major milestone in plant capacity upgrade coincided with the employee led buyout; innovatively optimizing our resources, Engro relocated fertilizer manufacturing plants from the UK and US to its Daharki plant site – an international first.

In 2002, the renowned Dawood Hercules Group became the patron shareholder of Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited. Soon thereafter, the Company started a journey of venturing into other sectors including foods, energy, industrial control and automation, PVC resin manufacturing and marketing, and chemical terminal and storage.

Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited then started a journey of venturing into other sectors including foods, energy, industrial control and automation, PVC resin manufacturing and marketing, and chemical terminal and storage.

In 2009 plans were announced of demerging the fertilizer business into an independent operating company. The expansion and growth in the company necessitated a change in the way the company operated and conducted business. Keeping in view the operations of multi category businesses, expansion strategy and growth vision, the management decided that the various businesses would be better served if the Company was converted to a holding company. As a result it was decided to demerge the fertilizer business and establish a holding company structure to manage the affairs of various businesses.

Engro Fertilizers Limited was incorporated in June 2009 to manage the fertilizer business post demerger. The demerger required the approval of the High Court of Sindh, which was granted on December 9, 2009 after obtaining the requisite approvals from the creditors and shareholders of the Company. The demerger became effective from January 1, 2010. Consequently, all fertilizer business assets and liabilities have been transferred to Engro Fertilizers Limited against the issue of shares to the Company.

To reflect the change in the scope of mandate and scale of operations, Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited was renamed as ‘Engro Corporation Limited’ with effect from January 1, 2010. Engro Corp, as the holding company is responsible for the long term vision of the company, overseeing the performance of the subsidiaries and affiliates, allocation of capital, management of talent, leadership development, HR guiding policies, leadership role in public relations and CSR activities, control structures, legal and IT support.

Engro Corp will maintain a lean structure with a focused scope, allowing maximum empowerment to the subsidiaries and affiliates to drive the operations of their respective organizations.

Chinese group to set up $70 million ceramics unit in Faisalabad

December 31, 2018

FAISALABAD: A prominent Chinese industrial group has decided to establish a ceramics unit in Pakistan with an investment of $70 million – a decision that is likely to lessen country’s reliance on imported tiles.

“The ceramics unit is expected to become operational by March 2020,” a senior official of the Faisalabad Industrial Estate Development and Management Company (FIEDMC) told The Express Tribune. He, however, did not disclose the name of the Chinese company.

FIEDMC, located in the heart of Pakistan’s industrial hub, is rapidly transforming into an attractive destination for well-known foreign companies, which are planning to set up their units following lack of progress on the Special Economic Zones (SEZs), which are planned to be constructed under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). “The Chinese industrial group already enjoys its presence in 50 countries,” said FIEDMC Chief Executive Officer Aamir Saleemi. “The group plans to import machinery from China and aims to complete work by March 2020.”

The company has already acquired 100 acres of land in the industrial hub, which is connected with ports through a network of motorways being completed under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

After the inauguration of CPEC, Chinese investors have diverted their focus from other countries to Pakistan due to the preferential treatment being received in the country.

Both countries also aim to step up work on the SEZs in different regions but Pakistani authorities have been unable to develop these zones so far because of the absence of utilities and incentive packages for the relocation of industries from China.

At present, Pakistan imports ceramics from different countries, which is expected to come down after the Chinese unit starts running. Once the unit begins operations, it is predicted to contain the import bill as well.

Saleemi emphasised that it would be the first foreign ceramics factory in Pakistan, although he also did not disclose the name.

The factory will aid employment generation amid rising joblessness in the third largest city of the country. The company has also planned to set up retail shops in various cities.

A massive change in designs of homes and construction of shopping malls has sparked heavy demand for ceramics. Popular locally manufactured ceramic tiles are available in the market but many customers prefer imported tiles from China and other countries.

High-end consumers also desire to buy Italian and Spanish ceramics products. Middle-end customers prefer Chinese ceramics and rest of the customers opt to purchase local tiles. Pakistan is a lucrative market for international investors and has great demand for their products. The Chinese company is planning to produce all varieties of tiles – be it for washrooms, for kitchens and for outdoors – to cater to all segments of the market.
