What Roshan Packages does

Roshan Packages Limited (PSX: RPL) is a Lahore-headquartered, publicly listed Pakistani packaging manufacturer founded in 2002 and operating as part of the Roshan Group conglomerate. The company produces three core product lines: corrugated packaging (RSC, HSC, die-cut boxes, and master cartons in 2-ply, 3-ply, and 5-ply B/C/E flute configurations with up to 5-color printing), flexible packaging (PE films, pouches, shrink wraps produced on an 8-color rotogravure line with solvent-based and solvent-less laminators), and co-extruded films (2/3/4-layer structures using Windmöller & Hölscher German extrusion technology). It also produces edge protectors and, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Roshan Sun Tao Paper Mills, recycle-based paper, giving it backward integration into raw material supply.

The company serves a diversified set of Pakistan's largest FMCG, food and beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, ceramics, paints, footwear, and herbal-products customers, including Unilever, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Friesland Campina, Bata, Diamond Paints, Tapal, Peak Freans, Continental Biscuits, and Volka Foods. Through its RoshPack sub-brand, it also reaches more than 1,400 small and medium enterprises via an e-commerce storefront. The company holds a comprehensive certification stack (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, FSSC 22000, SEDEX 4-Pillars, Halal from SANHA) that supports multinational-customer qualification.

Commercially, Roshan Packages operates a B2B, quote-based pricing model with no public list rates. Distribution is split between direct enterprise field sales (national and regional sales managers plus dedicated Karachi teams for flexible and corrugation) and the RoshPack digital channel for SMEs. Revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 was Rs 10,247 million PKR, up 16.6% from Rs 8,866 million in FY2022, following an IPO in January 2017 that raised Rs 2.1 billion. The company is led by an executive team and board drawn primarily from the founding Qureshi family, supported by an independent CFO and two independent directors, and has been recognized with the 'Brand of the Year in Corrugated and Flexible Packaging Solutions' (2024) and seven consecutive Best Exporter of the Year awards from FPCCI.
