Omar Jibran Engineering Industries Limited

Feroz Khan CEO says

I was running a small manufacturing business of Manufacturing Injection Molded Thread protectors for Oilfield exploration and production tubing, casing and drill pipes in Houston, Texas. I established this business in January, 1980 oil prices crashed for USD 34 to USD 10 per barrel in a matter of 20 days resulting in the entire oilfield exploration was stopped and the production was cut to less than half. Our entire customer base was wiped off. It was as that time I decided to look for alternative business. Pakistan being my country of birth was a definite option. I was also lucky to have some Pakistani Government officials who placed their faith in my ability and gave me encouragement and incentives to start Injection Molding for major thermo plastic parts of car namely bumper, Instrument panel and Radiator grills. It has been rewarding Company since the first year the sales gone up by 10 times.
