About Shezan International
Shezan International is one of Pakistan's largest food processing companies. It has built and set up factories to meet the needs of Pakistan. It also helps with export demands. This means Shezan products are sent to other countries too.
How Shezan Started
Shezan International was officially started on May 13, 1964. It began as a joint project between two groups. One was the Shahnawaz Group from Pakistan. The other was the Alliance Industrial Development Corporation from the United States.
In 1971, the Shahnawaz Group bought all the shares from the American company. This was done with permission from the Government of Pakistan.
Growing Across Pakistan
Shezan continued to grow and expand its operations. In 1980–81, a new factory was built in Karachi. This factory now serves Karachi and the Sindh region. It also helps meet the demand for exports.
In 1983, a plant for filling bottles was set up in Lahore, Punjab. Later, in 1987, a special plant for Tetra Brik packaging was added. Tetra Brik is a type of carton used for drinks like juice. In 1990, the company decided to build a juice factory in Hattar. This area is in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
