General	Tufail Chemical Industries Limited was incorporated in 1994 with the effort of Pakistan's top engineers and in technical collaboration of China Machinery Corporation. The plant and machinery was imported from China, making it a major entity of Tufail Group. The group comprises of 5 companies engaged in imports of Chemicals and distribution of Petrochemicals & Polymers. TCI is also a producer of Formic Acid in Pakistan, having initially installed capacity of 5,000 tons per year and a by-product plant of Sodium Sulphate producing about 7,500 tons per year. The company, after consolidating its position in Pakistan market and getting the quality recognition from its customers, expanded production capacity of Formic Acid and Sodium Sulphate to 7,500 tons and 11,000 tons per annum respectively. In 2003, the group also set-up plants for manufacturing Sulphuric Acid (20,000 tons/yr), Alum Sulphate (5,500 tons/yr), Zinc Sulphate (3,300 tons / yr) and Magnesium Sulphate (3,500 tons/yr). Recently the group is undergoing an expansion process for Formic Acid, producing up to 11,000 tons a year, making it capable of meeting the entire demand of Pakistan by 2nd Qtr 2005. Cooperation of an international technical team will help us in this expansion, allowing us to reducing our dependence on imported feedstock. TCI is also exploring the possibilities to startup its back processing plant producing Sodium Formate, a basic raw-material for Formic Acid.
