Tucked within the obscure grounds of
Mari district, the unexpected discovery by Esso-Mobil gave birth to the Esso
Pakistan Fertilizer Company in 1965 – that later became Engro.
Karachi,
September 29, 2015: In
a grand event organized by Engro, the Company celebrated fifty years since its
inception in 1965. Khalid Siraj Subhani CEO & President Engro Corporation, while addressing the media drew
parallels between the Company then and now. He stated that what started as a
single product Company has now grown in to a diversified conglomerate with
interests in multiple industries. The Company has grown from strength to
strength and now employs over 3,800 employees versus less than 350 at the time
of its inception.
Deeply embedded in the value chains in
the industries that the Company operates, Engro maintains a presence in over
300+ cities across Pakistan and beyond. Khalid Siraj Subhani who has been an
Engro veteran is a prime example of the Company’s strong promote-from-within
culture and has served the business in various roles for over three decades. He
further highlighted that since its beginning the Company has showcased stellar
growth and compared to 1960s has grown approximately 170 times in revenue
terms.
He further said: “Engro is one of
Pakistan’s largest conglomerates and celebrating 50 years is a huge achievement
for us. Integrated in the agricultural and dairy sector we reach out to
approximately 1.8 million farmers, directly benefitting almost 13 million lives
in the agri-dairy space. Our food products nourish 12 million consumers every
day, and given our interventions in the energy and other sectors of the economy
we believe we are well placed to impact a wider audience in a more meaningful
manner.”

and thanked them for their constant support that media and other stakeholders
have extended to the Company over time.
