CORPORATE TRANSFORMATION
In order to be able to face and capitalise upon the post quota challenges and opportunities, Chenab Ltd has also embarked on a balance sheet structure optimisation plan. In the first phase, the company issued PKR 800 million preference shares in September 2004. In the second phase the company is in the process of raising PKR 540 million by disinvestment of sponsors shares and fresh issuance of ordinary shares. This will create cushion in the balance sheet of the company for any future expansion or business diversification initiative.
CHENONE
Side by side with export of value-added textile products, in November 1997, the Group launched its own fashion brand for home linen and ladies, gents and kids garments by the name of Chen One. It is a chain of elite fashion stores in and outside the country to further boost marketing of its products and earn national and international acclaim for their high quality and wide range.
Since the launch of first Chen One store in Pakistan's capital city Islamabad, the total number of outlets has gradually grown to nine which are operating successfully in Peshawar, Abbottabad, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Rahim Yar Khan and Karachi.
A Chen One outlet has recently been inaugurated at Multan in a grand fashion. In a very short span of time, the brand has taken the market by storm and become leading fashion brand of Pakistan. It is a preferred choice of the fashion conscious people in Pakistan.
In November 2000, Chen One went international with its first outlet in the Middle East at Dubai and it later on included Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, City Center Ajman, Bahrain, and Makkah in its chain of retail stores besides one more store being shortly opened at Riyadh (KSA). Further expansion will take the brand to other Middle Eastern states as well as USA, Europe and other parts of the world.
Sale of Company's products comprising home textiles and woven fashion garments has been very successful and encouraging, and Chen One outlets continue to work as a vital marketing arm of the company.
