History

A few years later it started exporting to Europe, United Kingdom, United States and the Middle East. By 2008, Shan had become hugely popular within Pakistan due to its quality brands which were selling at affordable prices for common people. The company is now exporting its products to over 50 countries as well in 2008.[2]

In 2000, Shan increased its penetration in the central and northern regions of Pakistan, and officially launched in India in 2004 by organising a cooking competition in New Delhi. Shan exports to 52 countries making it Pakistan's largest exporter of packaged spice, food, and rice mixes.[2][3]
