Emco Industries Limited (Pakistan)

The parent company, The Imperial Electric Company (Pvt.) Ltd., was established in 1931 and has been involved in trading of electrical goods. Soon after the creation of Pakistan, the needs for import substitution was felt and the sponsors of the parent company made the decision to establish a small manufacturing unit for electrical goods.
Another plant for Floor Tiles having an annual capacity of 1,000,000 square meters was commissioned in late 1991. The machinery and know-how was supplied by SACMI of Italy and the plant is producing comprehensive range of Floor and Facing Tiles according to international standards. In 1996, the need was felt to increase the production of the Wall Tile and subsequently an agreement was signed with an Italian Company to supply machinery and equipment to increase the output of the Wall Tile plant form 700,000 to 1,500,000 square meters per annum. This expanded facility was completed in 1997. Currently the overall production capacity of both plants is 2,500,000 square meters. EMCO is the largest ceramic complex in Pakistan producing over 30,000 tons of ceramics material annually.
