Kohinoor Mills

What Kohinoor Mills does

Kohinoor Mills Limited (PSX: KML) is a publicly listed, vertically integrated textile manufacturer headquartered in Lahore, Pakistan. Incorporated in 1987 and operating from a 160-acre manufacturing complex on Manga Raiwind Road (District Kasur), the company traces its operational lineage to 1948 and has been listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange under the textile composite sector since January 1990. Capacity comprises 272 high-speed Picanol air-jet and rapier looms (Kohinoor Weaving, producing 55 million meters of grey fabric annually), Benninger and Monforts finishing lines (Kohinoor Dyeing, producing 45 million meters of dyed, white, and printed fabric annually), a captive 30MW independent power plant (Kohinoor Genertek, with 30 tonnes/hour steam), and the newly launched Kohinoor Apparel (KA) garment division commenced in December 2025 with over 5 million garments of annual capacity.

Product offerings span five fabric collections — Western, Ethnic, Workwear, Technical, and Upholstery — under proprietary infrastructure that includes the TracK yarn-to-garment traceability system, the FabriK mobile fabric library, and the Showroom in a Box digital sample kit. The company is heavily certified for sustainability and compliance: GOTS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, GRS, OCS, Better Cotton Initiative, SA8000, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and Higg FEM/FSLM third-party verified. Operational disclosures report a 43% carbon emissions reduction over five years, 69% water consumption reduction over two years, 42% waste reduction, 30% wastewater recycling, and 100% landfill diversion. The company exports to 30 countries and serves a named customer roster of more than 20 global fashion brands including Levi’s, Zara, H&M, Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Target, Banana Republic, American Eagle Outfitters, Wrangler, Lee, Carhartt, Decathlon, Mango, Next, Guess, Lands’ End, Dillards, Celio, Jack & Jones, and Pakistani ethnic brands Khaadi, Charizma, and Cross Stitch.

Revenue is generated through B2B direct export sales of grey, white, and dyed fabrics under multi-year enterprise contracts with negotiated per-order pricing; the company discloses $125M in annual sales. Go-to-market relies on a dedicated business development team, trade show participation (TEX USA, ITMA Paris, Munich Fabric Start, Morocco Style), and direct relationships with brand sourcing organisations. Ownership is concentrated in the Sheikh family: founder/CEO Aamir Fayyaz Sheikh has led since inception, with second-generation members now heading operations (Ismail Aamir Fayyaz as COO of Weaving, Imrat Aamir Fayyaz as COO of Dyeing & Finishing). Workforce stands at approximately 2,600 employees.
