Shahi group started its operations in 1973. It was the first company to introduce form – fill – seal machine packaging for a product that was totally novel for the consumers of that time. SHAHI SUPARI with its beautiful modern hygienic packaging was in every sense a NEW Original product in Pakistan. It initially started its operations on imported machines but soon asked local engineers to duplicate and improve upon it. Shahi can rightly claim to have simultaneously given impetus to two industries in Pakistan, the ethnic mouth freshener industry and soft packaging machine industry.
