Fifty-five years of moving what Pakistan needs from the rest of the world.
Pharmacon International is a family-built sourcing and distribution house — pharmaceuticals, food and feed ingredients, industrial solvents, publishing and textile inputs, and now books — carried from manufacturers worldwide to Pakistan’s shelves.
How one relationship became five industries
In 1970, Mr. Javed Ahmed founded our group as a specialty chemicals distributor, supplying stearic acid and other chemical inputs to Pakistani industry. That first principal relationship grew into a diversified sourcing and distribution group — built on the same principles of trust, reliability, and long-term partnership we still trade on today.

Ingredient and commodity trading for industrial and agricultural buyers.

Inputs for the printing industry, sourced through long-standing principal relationships.
Publishing & Textile Inputs
Raw materials serving both the publishing and textile sectors.
Books
The newest extension of our platform, drawing on the same distribution capacity that moves everything else on this shelf.
Two warehouses. One nationwide reach.
A partnership with us doesn’t start from zero. The physical infrastructure and distribution reach are already in place.
Karachi Warehouse — M.A. Jinnah Road
Central commercial-district facility supporting downtown Karachi distribution and retail logistics.
Karachi Warehouse — Defence View
Second facility serving DHA and southern Karachi, adding storage depth and delivery redundancy.
Nationwide Distribution Network
Established logistics reaching retail and wholesale points across Pakistan’s major urban centers.
Live relationships worldwide, on paper since day one
Fifty-five years of principal representation has built sourcing relationships that don’t need to be improvised — including live supply lines across China, India, Malaysia, Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and existing book-sourcing channels ready to extend further. We continue to open new lines wherever a reliable manufacturer or publisher wants a route into Pakistan. The route runs both ways: if you need products from Pakistan, we can source those too.
The names we trade on
Fifty-five years of principal representation, set down as a list. These are the manufacturers, principals, publishers and distributors we work with to bring products to Pakistan’s shelves.
We are open to reliable manufacturers, principals, and publishers anywhere in the world. If you are looking for a distribution partner in Pakistan, we would like to hear from you. And if you need products from Pakistan, we can source those for export as well.
