Tufail’s Story

Through the trust and loyalty of our consumers, we grew. And they grew with us. Now we are a giant franchise that means many things to our buyers throughout the years: quality, trust, integrity, and passion.

TUFAIL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

Established in 1953, we are one of Pakistan’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of industrial chemicals. With over 70 years of experience, we began as an import and indenting house, partnering with top global names from Japan, the USA, Europe, and China. Over time, we expanded to distribute European plastic raw materials, chemicals, and aluminum products.

I migrated from East Punjab, India to Pakistan in 1947 and started humbly ON a greater journey.

We’ve come a long way since 1953. As our business has changed, so has our logo. Tufail Group has been through a vast expedition in the last 7 decades and only continues to grow. It’s time, however, that the growth is presented publicly and widely through a revamp of the company’s external marketing methods including the logo and the company’s values.

2004 - 2019

In 1953, we started our logo with a star-shaped comprised of circular particles representing the chemical bond. This logo can still be seen on our products as we continue to transition many of our clients to the newest logo.

2019 - Present

In 2019, TUFAIL underwent the most significant logo change to date, introducing a new font and the Bonsai tree. The new logo is a representation of the entities that fall under the TUFAIL umbrella and symbolizes the addition of diversity in different directions in the group. The Bonsai tree is an essential part of the company’s representation in the logo. It embodies all the qualities that TUFAIL Group is now attempting to convey: discipline, harmony, stability, wisdom, strength, and balance. It also embodies a never-ending journey with the willingness to gain new knowledge, experiment, and develop at every step of the way.
