From the mill floor to M.TECH

He learned the trade inside the mills before he ever put his own name on a door. Everything since has been built on that first education.Pehle kaam seekha, phir apna kaam shuru kiya.

Before

The apprenticeship

His working life began on the open-end spinning floors of Karachi. From there he studied every machine in the spinning line: how it runs, how it fails, and how it is put right.

Har machine ko andar se samjha.

M.TECH is founded

In 1988 he opened M.TECH Textile Traders in Lahore. The first business was spare parts: the right part, delivered fast, to mills that could not afford a stopped machine.

Machines

From parts to machines

Mills that trusted his parts began to trust his judgement on whole machines. M.TECH moved into buying and selling complete spinning machinery, from blowroom lines to ring frames.

Whole mills change hands

Then came entire spinning units: valued, bought, sold and relocated. More than fifty mills have passed through his hands, many of them for Pakistan’s largest textile groups.

Sourcing beyond borders

For clients who need more than the local market offers, M.TECH imports machinery from Turkey, Egypt and Russia. Most of the trade is in quality pre-owned machines; new machinery is imported on request.

Bale to cone, he knows every machine.

Makers, model years, condition, true value

Anyone can tell you a machine’s price. Only experience tells you its worth.
Qeemat har koi bata deta hai, asal qadar sirf tajurba batata hai. Abdul Rasheed Gill
