The company is primarily engaged in textile spinning, weaving, processing and stitching as diapers manufacturing and power generation. Its manufacturing facilities are located at three phases No 1 at Peshawar Road Rawalpindi No 2 at 8 KM Manga Raiwind Road Kasur and No 3 at Gulyana Road Gujar Khan District Rawalpindi.
It has been reported that additional balancing, modernisation and replacement of spinning mills is in progress. Plans for adding new equipment at Gujar Khan and Rawalpindi District have been drawn up.
This will contribute towards improving quality and production of yarn and lead to enhanced profitability.
The company carries strong financial position and its profitability has increased manifold. Its sales increased to Rs 2.740 bln from Rs 2.459 bln posted in the previous first half year (FHY 2002-03) showing remarkable growth of Rs 281 mln.
It has been mentioned in the Half Yearly Report under review that net profit after taxation at Rs 233.84 mln exhibited very high growth of 622% over the figure of Rs 32.40 mln posted in the same period last year.
The spinning division's operations both at Rawalpindi and Gujar Khan contributed positively in the profitability.
The weaving division at Raiwind contributed to the financial results by maintaining its profitable operations.
The processing and stitching operations at Rawalpindi, though much improved but still not yielded positive results. The company foresees that with quota constraints coming to an end as of 1st January 2005, the future prospects should improve.
