Maqsood attended the seminar with his five member senior management team and confirmed their plan to set up a bottling plant at Special Economic Zone in Faisalabad.
Board of Investment has been facilitating the organization previously and has assisted in applying for a Plot in Faisalabad Special Economic Zone (SEZ). BOI’s close coordination with the organization has resulted in the organization announcing its plan to invest in Pakistan.
The investment will help reduce imports and bring Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) through exports to neighboring countries. This project will also lead to the introduction of refrigerant gasses and ADNOC lubes for the first time in Pakistan. Secretary BOI has termed this potential investment as a major breakthrough for attracting FDI in Pakistan.
