KARACHI: The Organic Meat Company Limited (TOMCL) has announced the commencement of operations at its Karachi Export Processing Zone (KEPZA) facility through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mohammad Saeed Mohammad Hussain Limited (MSMHL).
The company said the step marks the fulfilment of commitments made during its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in August 2020, when TOMCL had outlined plans to expand into value-added meat and by-product exports through the acquisition of MSMHL. A share purchase agreement for MSMHL was finalized in May 2023.
MSMHL’s KEPZA facility will now be integrated into TOMCL’s wider export operations, with a focus on processing and re-exporting ovine and bovine offals. The company highlighted that the unit is designed to capitalize on niche opportunities in global markets including the Middle East, Europe, China, and Central and East Asia.
According to TOMCL, the key features of the new operations include the production of frozen offals, dehydrated pet chews, and other edible by-products. The initiative is aligned with the company’s “waste-to-value” model, aimed at enhancing carcass utilization, generating new revenue streams, and promoting environmental responsibility.
TOMCL also emphasized that MSMHL is the only offals processing unit in the Karachi Export Processing Zone, allowing it to benefit from tax-free import-for-processing-and-re-export incentives. This, the company added, is expected to improve operational and cost efficiency while supporting diversification of Pakistan’s Halal meat export base.
The company said the move strengthens its long-term vision of becoming a fully integrated Halal meat and by-product exporter, broadening its market reach beyond conventional cuts, and positioning Pakistan as a reliable supplier of premium Halal-certified protein products.
The filing, signed by Company Secretary Imran Khan, was disseminated to all TRE certificate holders of the Exchange.
