simpler, much less complex company of leading brands that's easier to manage and operate".

Procter & Gamble History in Pakistan


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.
As a company with vast global experience, P&G has always believed in the potential Pakistan
has as a country. Since its inception in Pakistan, P&G has invested significantly in Pakistan. In
1994 P&G acquired a soap-manufacturing facility Hub, Balochistan. In 2004, a PUR facility was
set up to produce P&Gs water purifying technology. 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.
Strengthening its commitment to invest further in Pakistan, the company has recently setup a
state-of-the-art Ariel plant at Port Qasim. The launch of this manufacturing facility is testimony
of P&Gs successful history in the country and symbolizes P&Gs confidence that Pakistan will

continue to provide a stable and conducive business environment over the long-term. The facility
is expected to improve local industrialization prospects by creating tremendous potential
opportunity of business over the next few years.
P&G has attracted outstanding individuals since the day it began operations in Pakistan.
Employees are the foundation of P&G Pakistans success. The company nurtures local talent in
the country and has invested significantly in training and development of its employees.
Currently more than 50 employees from Pakistan are serving in P&G locations abroad.
