Starting our business streak in 1967 as manufacturers of Battery Cells, the visionary Business acumen of its founder members helped in diversification and expansion of business into trading, leading to creation of separate business under the umbrella of Burque Corporation. Exploiting maximum leverage and benefits from the long expertise and experiences of its ancestors in distribution business, they finally managed to conclude a landmark agreement with Nestle SA, Switzerland in 1976 to be the exclusive distributors of their products in Pakistan. From 1974 to 1989, the main stream business was marketing and distribution of Nestlรฉ products. Their aggressive and push sales strategy for door to door selling played predominately a vital role in making ground breaking success in short period. By 1989, Burque was distributing Nestlรฉ products directly through nine branches located across Pakistan. Later in 1989, Nestlรฉ Switzerland entered into a joint venture with Milkpak Ltd. Burque eventually restructured its entire Distribution network, covering complete territories of Sindh and Baluchistan. At that time, the region contributed about 70% of total Nestlรฉ products sale in Pakistan. Burque is associated with Nestle in Karachi, Mehran Progressive Distributors in Sindh and Bolan Progressive Distributors in Baluchistan. All other principals fall under the umbrella of NPD Pvt. The above business ventures lead the company to earn a distinctive reputation of a well-diversified distribution house of FMCG goods in the categories of food, non-food, chilled and frozen products, serving thousands of customers across Pakistan. Realizing the distribution business as their main forte, the company eventually through geographical expansion targeted African continent to establish their first foot-prints in Tanzania, by entering into business venture with Unilever to become their sole-distributors in that region.
