Throughout the financial year Company achieved various milestones which not only boosted profits for the year but paved a way for continued growth in the coming years. Of these milestones most significant is the completion of 22 MW Gas Fired Power Project. Own power generation has resulted in lower cost of production and uninterrupted power supply as well. Whereas, journey of developments for introduction of new products continued and Company started the construction work of Calcium Chloride and Chlorinated Paraffin Wax projects. New export markets have been explored for Caustic Soda Flakes and other specialty chemical for better return. Your company has achieved a net sales of Rs.4,374 Millions during the year under review against Rs. 3,812 Millions in the previous year showing an increase of 14.7 %. Gross profit earned during the year is Rs. 1,084 Millions against previous year’s figure of Rs.705 Millions. Net Profit before tax accounted for Rs.537 Millions against Rs. 358 Millions in the previous year.
