Gadoon Textile: Spooling Infinity

Our Story

In the late ‘80s, the Government invited the corporate sector of Pakistan to set up industrial units in the Gadoon Amazai area of District Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, to eradicate prevalent poppy cultivation and provide an alternative source of employment. The Yunus Brothers Group (YBG), considering this corporate social responsibility, participated in this noble cause, collaborating with the Government and laid the foundations of Gadoon Textile Mills Limited (GTML) in 1988. The Company continued its operations, despite the unilateral withdrawal of incentive, offered by the Government for setting up industrial units, in 1991. To achieve its goal through a sustainable strategy and principle of no poverty & zero hunger, GTML made further expansion and growth, as an additional production facility was set up in Karachi, followed by a merger with Fazal Textile Mills Limited (FTML). This timeless effort and devotion toward society made GTML “one of the largest spinning units of Pakistan.”
