By Sazgar Engineering Works Limited (SAZEW), a leading name in Pakistan’s automotive industry, has announced ambitious plans to expand its international presence. The company is preparing to enter three new export destinations — the Philippines, Mexico, and Afghanistan, marking a significant step toward strengthening its global footprint and diversifying revenue streams.
The announcement was made during an analyst briefing with Topline Securities, where Sazgar shared details of its growth strategy, production targets, and upcoming vehicle launches.
Production Capacity and Operational Resilience
Despite recent challenges caused by floods in Pakistan that disrupted supply chains and transport routes, Sazgar reported minimal impact on deliveries. The only major disruption occurred when the Karachi–Lahore highway was temporarily closed.
To meet surging demand, the company has been producing 60 vehicles per day, exceeding its official capacity of 40 units. Management is now considering a major capacity expansion:
- Installed capacity: 40 units/day
- Current output: 60 units/day
- Planned increase: 100–120 units/day (with double shifts if required)
This move highlights Sazgar’s adaptability and readiness to meet both domestic and international demand.
Upcoming Vehicle Launches
In addition to expanding exports, Sazgar plans to introduce two new models — Tank and Canon Alpha — by March 2026. These vehicles are expected to strengthen the company’s SUV lineup and cater to the growing consumer demand for premium and rugged vehicles in both local and international markets.
Strong Financial Performance
Sazgar’s financials reflect strong momentum:
- Turnover: Up 89% to Rs. 109 billion
- Profit after tax: Up 106% to Rs. 16 billion
Much of this growth was attributed to robust sales of Haval SUVs, which continue to perform strongly in Pakistan’s competitive auto sector.
A Step Toward Global Recognition
By targeting new export markets, boosting production, and expanding its vehicle portfolio, Sazgar Engineering is positioning itself as not just a domestic leader but also an emerging international competitor. Its growth strategy combines innovation, resilience, and global outreach, paving the way for sustainable long-term success.
