Progressive Traders was established in Karachi, Pakistan in 1954 as a partnership firm with a modest purpose of sourcing raw materials, equipment and technologies which would contribute to modernization and growth of the leather tanning industry in Pakistan, through provision of quality raw materials, technologies and international networking. This effectively contributed to quantum overall growth of this sector during the 4th quarter of the twentieth century.

Progressive Traders has now grown into a respectable group with several departments within the main entity and three satellite companies. With a versatile approach, they are engaged in their specialized pursuits of manufacturing, import, import substitution, trading, distribution and export of a diverse product range comprising industrial raw materials, food ingredients, building products, fast moving consumer goods and real estate.
