History
Shan Foods (Pvt) Limited started off in 1981, as a cottage industry operation, operating out of the home of the company's founder Sikander Sultan. He, along with his wife, started making spice mixes at their home, experimenting extensively to come up with unique offerings, which instantly picked up a loyal fan base both, at home and with South Asians who had moved to Western Countries, such as USA and Canada.[2]
Today, Shan Foods is one of Pakistan's largest manufacturers and exporters, and their offered range is considered synonymous with the traditional authentic taste of the subcontinent coupled with convenience and ease.
