The Founder
Ghulam Mohammad A. Fecto
Late Mr. Ghulam Mohammad A. Fecto, the Founder and Chairman of FECTO Group was born in 1922 in Jetpur in the British Indian state of Gujarat, into a Memon family. In Mumbai he started business from a small shoe store. The shop is still there with the same name of Coronation Footwear at Grand Road. He migrated from Mumbai to Dhaka in former East Pakistan and started a trading business dealing in electrical goods and home appliances, Radios and TVs, Wire & Cable and Automobiles. Shortly afterwards, the business entered into a joint venture with Japan to manufacture Toshiba radio sets. The company was a pioneer in setting up technical collaboration with Japan. The business soon expanded and industrial activities commenced in the western wing of Pakistan. In fact, the group’s pace of development was so fast that it soon flowered into two Sugar Mills, a Tractor Plant, Cement Plant, two Paper Sack Units, Particle Board (PB) and Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) Plant. FECTO is an acronym for Far East Commercial and Trading Organization. The dynamic Mr. Fecto has enjoyed a very distinguished career. He is the visionary as well as the architect of the Fecto Group. It is because of his inspiring leadership and ground-breaking efforts since 1952 that Fecto Group today enjoys a leading position among Pakistan’s front-line industrial groups and has established excellent relationships with banks, financing agencies, business and investment circles and the people at large. FECTO name has become a name of faith and an identity for the group management’s respected business practices both nationally and internationally.

An Engine of National Economic Growth
From 1970 onwards, the group has diversified its activities from trading to industrial production. This started with the acquisition of Adamjee (now Fecto) Sugar Mills Limited in early 1975, followed by the establishment of Baba Farid Sugar Mills Limited in 1978. Bolstered by its initial successes, the group ventured into progressive manufacturing of agricultural tractors and farm equipment including agricultural implements of various types. Another major milestone in the group’s forward march was the establishment of a most modern and pollution-free cement plant with 2000 tons per day capacity. This also made way for the launching of such allied industries as two Paper Sack Units that are located not too far from the cement plant. In 2010 Fecto Boards (Pvt) Ltd was incorporated with its registered office in Lahore.
