History

Engro was incorporated as Esso Pakistan Fertilizer Company in 1965 by Esso to manufacture fertilizer in Pakistan based on the gas reserves it discovered in 1957 near Daharki, Ghotki District, Sindh. [2] . Subsequently, it was listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange with the shareholding pattern of 75 percent owned by Esso and 25 percent by the general public. [3] The urea plant with the production capacity of 173,000 tons was constructed at the cost of US$43 million. The plant was commissioned in Daharki in 1966 and production began in 1968. [2]

In 1978, Esso's parent company was renamed as Exxon and accordingly Esso in Pakistan was renamed as Exxon Chemical Pakistan. [4]

In 1991, Exxon left Pakistan and its shareholding of 75 percent was acquired by the employees of Exxon Chemical Pakistan in the management buyout. [3]

In 2010, Engro Chemical Pakistan was renamed as Engro Corporation. [5]

In 2015, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) initiated a case against Engro and several other parties, alleging that the contract for the import and distribution of liquefied natural gas (LNG) awarded to Elengy Terminal in 2013, violated the rules of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA). NAB also accused the then Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Shahid Khaqan Abbasi of abusing his authority, which they claimed could result in a potential loss of $2 billion to the national exchequer. [6] Although the case was closed by NAB in 2016, it was reopened in 2018. [7]

Engro was the first Pakistani company to become a signatory of the UN Global Compact (UNGC) and adopt the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework for measuring and reporting corporate performance on economic, social, and environmental parameters. [8]

In December 2024, Engro Corporation was merged with Dawood Hercules to form Engro Holdings Limited. [9]
