About Us

Nurturing Since 1954

ZIL began in 1954 to offer reliable, high-quality skin-cleansing products. After acquiring Zulfeqar Industries Ltd. in 1980, we adopted its name and expanded our capacity. Since 1986, we've been a public company with head office in Karachi and a nationwide network providing trusted skin and fabric wash solutions across Pakistan.

The Ali Family — A Visionary Legacy

The Ali family founded a soap manufacturing facility in Hyderabad in 1954 to provide quality beauty solutions for Pakistan. Guided by a vision to “offer individuals, families and communities propositions that enrich their lives,” ZIL Limited has continually evolved its products and processes. Visionaries such as Syed Maratib Ali, Syed Wajid Ali and Syed Asad Ali have all contributed to this enduring legacy.
