Ecopack Ltd

Ecopack Limited,(EPL) was incorporated as a private limited company in August 1991 to mainly manufacture PET preforms & bottles for the Pakistani carbonated beverage and mineral water markets. The first factory is located in Northern Pakistan at Hattar Industrial Estate, KPK province, to benefit both from various tax incentives and the strategic proximity to the densely populated province of Punjab & to the emerging Central Asian markets. The main project investment was for the manufacture of PET preforms and bottles targeting the growing carbonated soft drink (CSD) industry in Pakistan. In 1992 EPL was converted into a public limited company and was successfully listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange in March 1994. In Ecopack set-up its second factory for blowing PET bottles in Karachi (Southern Pakistan) to meet growing demand thus covering the complete breadth of the market. Subsequently, through additional investment in new plant & equipment at both Karachi and the Hattar factory, EPL has increased its production capacity several times and is presently in 2007 commissioning a bottle blowing line inside a Pepsi Cola factory under a through-the-wall arrangement. Ecopack has a capacity of over 280million bottles per annum and is therefore the largest supplier of PET bottles in Pakistan.
