The primary Cotton Ginning unit that the company set up was in Mian Chanu, Punjab in the year 1952.Between 1952 and 1986, the company further invested into seven ginning units, located in Punjab. Aiming to strategically build concentration into a central location close to the port of Karachi, those units were later divested and the company elected to set up large scale ginning units in Tando Adam, Sindh.
The inspiration behind this was to be strategically concentrated in the premium cotton growing areas in proximity to the port of Karachi, giving FIL a competitive advantage in sourcing quality raw materials and allowing access to Sindh and International markets.
We manufacture a range of premium quality cotton lint including 1505, 1503, 1467, Afzal, Alaka and Adnas.

Cotton is a bulk staple fiber produced from the cotton plant. It serves as the primary raw material for textiles all over the globe. It is grown in tropical and subtropical regions, within latitudes that provide a long frost-free growing period of 150 or more days per year. Once harvested, cotton fiber is separated from its seed and is traded in bales of 160-180 KG each. Crushed cotton seed produces oil primarily used for cooking and is a meal used for animal feed.
