It gave me immense pleasure and satisfaction while penning down my thoughts for this newer updated version of the Barrett Hodgson Pakistan's website.

I joined Barrett Hodgson Pakistan in July, 2000 as Business Development Director. In 2004 became the Managing Director of Barrett Hodgson Pakistan, and subsequently as Deputy Chairman, and now serving as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Barrett Hodgson Pakistan blossomed in the last 26 years and is well on its way to achieve unprecedented height of success. We always emphasize on serving the nation with dedication, while keeping the ethical and moral values intact, cruising in the right direction achieving one goal after another.

Barrett Hodgson Pakistan started the business back in 1996. As we continue to surpass many milestones, we added yet another feather to our decorated cap as we are achieving a turnover of Rs.24.3 Billion in the year (2025-26). Today we are proud to boast more than 126 brands with 260 formulations in our portfolio catering to different Therapeutic specialties. I am very proud of each and every employee of the company for their dedicated professional work ethics. I appreciate their tremendous energies and commitment towards our common goal.

We have globally renowned, highly innovative and research oriented organizations like AstraZeneca, Astellas, Abbvie, LTL Pharma Co. Ltd, Topridge Pharma, Cheplapharm and Otsuka Chemical Company as our business partners here in Pakistan.

With so much happening around us and with overwhelming expansion of manufacturing facilities, we are proud to be the first Pharmaceutical company to launch the latest version of SAP S/4 HANA to complement organization’s readiness for Current & Future business environment.

My very first slogan for the company “Speed is the Essence of Business” still remains critical and fundamental. There is continuous expansion in every department especially, expansion of the independent manufacturing facilities in Production department has played a major role in supporting not only our current sales but to cater the ever growing demands in years to come.

Whatever we earn from the company goes to the The Salim Habib Education Foundation, where our hard earned money is spent on educating Pakistani children. Together, in 2007, Dr Muhammad Salim Habib, Dr Iram Afaq and Mr Tariq Amin, established The Salim Habib Education Foundation (TSHEF), a not-for-profit organization centered around the goal of giving back to the deprived Pakistani nation with quality education and health facilities.

The Salim Habib University is focussed mainly on Science subjects so as to cater this highly needed field with more than 40 scientific laboratories fully equipped with modern and updated instruments. Seeing is believing, please visit our University that would provide you the feel of our passion towards Quality Education.

With all my best wishes.

Pakistan Zindabad BHP Paindabad.
