A key focus for Mr. Zulfqar during the summit was exploring potential partnerships for SKY Air Compressors, the flagship brand of Rastgar & Co (Pvt) Ltd, a subsidiary of Rastgar Group. Leveraging Rastgar’s extensive experience in distributing and servicing industrial machinery in the South Asian market, Mr. Zulfqar engaged in discussions with Finnish companies interested in entering or strengthening their presence in this dynamic region.

Rastgar Group, established in 1980, boasts a strong track record in the machinery distribution and service sector, representing several international brands in Pakistan. With over 50% of its business already stemming from international collaborations, the company is strategically positioned to facilitate market entry for Finnish manufacturers. Rastgar’s offerings include comprehensive sales, service, and training support for end-customers in Pakistan’s burgeoning manufacturing industry.

Mr. Zulfqar highlighted Pakistan’s significant machinery import market and Rastgar’s proactive search for manufacturers interested in establishing a footprint in the country. He emphasized the potential for mutually beneficial partnerships, including the possibility of joint ventures focused on sales and services in Pakistan. Such collaborations could also serve as a strategic gateway to the wider regional market encompassing Central and South Asia, as well as the Middle East.
