History

The roots of the company can be traced back to Coronation Footwear, a shoe store started by Ghulam Muhammad A. Fecto in Mumbai on Grant Road. After partition he migrated from Mumbai to Dhaka and then in 1952 and established a business involved in trading electrical goods, wires and home appliances. The company then made a pioneering effort as it entered into a joint venture with a Japanese brand for the manufacturing of Radio, which was the first-ever-technical collaboration with Japan in Pakistan.

Then in 1975 the company began to diversify from trading to industrial activities.  The group continued to move from strength to strength and over time manufactured Cement, Sugar, and Tractors. In 1981 Fecto Cement Limited was established with production commencing on January 1, 1990.

In the mid-nineties, the founder began to segment the Group with its companies being split amongst his children, of which he had 8, into wholly separate entities which no longer had any affiliation with each other outside of sharing a name. With the demands of corporate legislatures and inherent procedures being fulfilled, the responsibility of managing Fecto Cement Limited was entrusted to Mr. Mohammed Yasin Fecto and Mr. Asad Fecto who have continued to move from strength to strength with the company vision of building a better economic future for Pakistan.
