The enterprises

The ATS Group of Industries.

A diversified industrial house — founded in 1968 and led today by Mian Anjum Nisar — spanning petrochemicals, synthetic leather, textiles and plastics.

A pioneering house

Half a century of Pakistani industry.

What began as the country's first synthetic-leather manufacturer in 1968 has grown into a multi-sector group — making the chemicals, leathers, yarns and plastics that supply Pakistan's factories and exporters.
