Company Profile
The journey of Tapal's remarkable success is the combined efforts of three dynamic generations of the Tapal Family. In 1947, Tapal started out as a family concern under the personal supervision of its founder, Adam Ali Tapal. Despite of tough competition to Adam Ali's unique blend, later named Family Mixture, it became a hot favorite and eventually the largest selling brand in the unorganized tea market. From this auspicious beginning, Tapal moved from success to success introducing tea brands to suit every taste and pocket, sold from its retail outlet in Jodia Bazar, Karachi. The quality of Tapal teas soon became legendary and people from all parts of Karachi started lining up at the outlet to purchase tea. For their convenience, tea distribution was initiated to retail outlets around the city. The company continued to grow under the management of the founder's son, Faizullah A. Tapal. Today Tapal Tea is managed by the founder's grandson, Aftab F. Tapal. After studying abroad, Aftab Tapal returned to Pakistan to introduce professional management and unique production ideas to the business. A well trained tea taster himself, Aftab Tapal introduced new tea concepts and developed a wide range of tea blends catering specifically to the tastes of people throughout Pakistan. His progressive outlook resulted in giving further strength to the foundation of quality laid by his family. Making a modest beginning over half a century back, today Tapal has become the largest 100% Pakistani owned tea company in the country. It has modern tea blending and packaging factories, warehouses equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and a team of highly dynamic professionals headed by Aftab Tapal himself.

A Commitment to Quality
"Never compromise on quality" has been the motto at Tapal since the very beginning. This commitment to quality has resulted in a high level of customer satisfaction and unflinching brand loyalty. In December 1997, Tapal Tea became the first Pakistani Tea Company to earn the ISO-9001 certification: a symbol of the highest international quality standards.

As a step towards backward integration, Tapal has begun tea plantation at Shinkiari in the northern region of Pakistan. This project aims at providing jobs, saving the country's valuable foreign exchange and is a significant step towards selfsufficiency. Tapal is also the first national tea company to export tea to the UAE, Canada and USA. This is again a pioneering step towards increasing value-added exports and is also a fast developing source of foreign exchange for the country.
Power of Brands
After Tapal's unique Family Mixture became Karachi's largest selling brand, the company was encouraged to innovate further. As a result, in 1987, an entirely new category brand called Danedar was created and launched. Tapal Danedar became the country's largest selling tea brand with a loyal following. Tapal's experienced "high voltage" marketing team has contributed over the years to the phenomenal growth of the brands and the company. In recent years, memorable advertising campaigns on the electronic and print media using TV and film celebrities, have made Tapal a household name. Tapal is considered to be among Pakistani women's most preferred tea brand. The highly successful mix of great teas, modern marketing, proper distribution and promotional activities has resulted in overwhelming growth for Tapal over the last 50 years.
