Open on Profit## APAG prepares for IPO
Agro Processors & Atmospheric Gases Limited (APAG), the company behind the popular “Soya Supreme” soy products, confirmed that it will list its shares on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. This will be the first listing of a high‑profile consumer brand on the exchange in more than five years.
## Business transformation and revenue mix
The firm has re‑oriented its strategy around the Soya Supreme line, which now generates roughly 75 % of APAG’s total revenue. Export sales have also grown, contributing about 7.3 % of revenue in the most recent fiscal year, while an institutional tender segment is adding a new demand stream.
## Capacity expansion plan
To support its growth outlook, APAG intends to increase its production capacity by approximately 30,000 tonnes. The expansion will be achieved through upgrades to existing plants, optimisation of processes, and backward integration of key inputs. The company is investing in modern machinery and digital systems such as SAP and SCADA to boost automation, real‑time monitoring and overall efficiency.
## Outlook for investors
The IPO aims to raise capital for these expansion projects and to broaden the company’s market presence both domestically and internationally. Investors will be watching how the added capacity and export focus translate into earnings growth once the shares begin trading on the PSX.
