About Us

Nurturing Since 1954

ZIL started its journey in 1954 to offer reliable, high-quality personal care 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 personal care products across Pakistan.
