Shan Foods (Pvt) Limited is a Pakistani producer of packaged spice mixes used in the Mughlai and Pakistani cuisine. The company's products are exported to over 60 countries, and the popularity of such products is due to the reduction in time required to make traditional meals. The company was previously owned by the father of Sikandar Sultan until recently the ownership was transferred to Sikandar Sultan himself.[1]
History[]
Shan Food Industries was founded as a cottage industry in 1981 in Karachi, Pakistan by Sikandar Sultan, the founder & chairman. A few years later it started exporting to Europe, United Kingdom, United States, and the Middle East.
In 2000, Shan increased its penetration in the central and northern regions of Pakistan, and officially launched in India in 2004 by organising a cooking competition in New Delhi.
By 2008, Shan had become popular within Pakistan due to its quality brands which were selling at affordable prices for common people.[2]
Shan exports its products to over 52 countries, making it Pakistan's largest exporter of packaged masalas, spices, food, and rice mixes.[2][3]
