Why Al-Ukaz exists
For decades, Pakistani producers lost deals not on product — but on trust and discoverability.
International buyers couldn't easily find Pakistani manufacturers, and when they did, they couldn't easily verify them. Generic marketplaces flattened serious factories into noisy listings; certifications were fragmented; introductions depended on personal networks. Al-Ukaz is the national infrastructure that fixes both — backed by the Ministry of Commerce and built in collaboration with the country's chambers of commerce.
You can be found
Buyers search by city, sector and product, with filters a procurement team would actually use — not the keyword soup of a general marketplace.
You can be checked
Your profile carries capacity, machinery, certifications and category footprint as structured fields, so a buyer can qualify you without a single email.
You get real enquiries
Buyer intent arrives in one standard shape, routed to the firms that fit it. What lands in your inbox is an opportunity, not a mailing list.
Six concrete benefits, one annual membership.
No bidding fees. No commission on closed deals. Founding-cohort membership is free through the pre-launch period, and a single membership entitles a verified Pakistani producer to every benefit the platform and its institutional network make available.
01 / 06 The Al-Ukaz verified mark
One national trust mark, issued by Al-Ukaz under a standard the Ministry of Commerce has endorsed. It tells a buyer the company is real, its documents were checked against the bodies that issued them, and someone is accountable for the listing.
02 / 06 Direct routing to vetted global buyers
Pre-screened importers, retail buyers, sourcing offices and distributors — from the GCC, EU, UK, North America and ASEAN — routed to the Pakistani manufacturer that fits the brief, rather than to whoever paid for the top of a search page.
03 / 06 International roadshows & trade missions
Pakistani delegations to flagship buyer markets — physical roadshows, B2B matchmaking, and curated meetings with the right buyers for your category.
04 / 06 Pakistan's trade attachés, working for you
Pakistan's commercial attachés sit in embassies and consulates worldwide, carrying market intelligence and making in-country introductions. Membership puts that existing network to work on your behalf.
05 / 06 A seat at the fairs that matter for your sector
The major international fairs are where category buyers concentrate. You go as part of a national delegation rather than as a lone exhibitor — which is the difference between a stand and an introduction.
06 / 06 Helpline & vetted partner ecosystem
Need export finance, freight, insurance, legal, or compliance support? The helpline is open, and we route you to a vetted network of banks, logistics providers, insurers, and legal firms.
Four steps from application to your first verified enquiry.
Verification is the spine of the platform, and we don't shortcut it. We administer the standard and we apply it ourselves — every company is reviewed by our team before it is listed.
- 01
Apply
Submit your business documents — registration, tax, and evidence of what you make — in about 15 minutes online.
Business registration, active NTN, and proof of manufacturing capacity.
- 02
We review the company
Our verification team checks your documents against the bodies that issued them and reviews the company as a business — its legal existence, its premises, its capacity.
Company-level review by Al-Ukaz. Where a chamber can corroborate your standing, we use it.
- 03
Your listing goes live
Once the review passes, your profile publishes with the Al-Ukaz verified mark and a downloadable certificate.
Verification is reviewed on an ongoing basis and can be withdrawn.
- 04
Buyer matching
International buyer enquiries are matched to your profile on capacity, sector and geography, so what reaches you is relevant.
You set your terms, MOQs and preferred markets. We never take commission on closed deals.
What you bring
- Proof of business registration — SECP incorporation for a company, Partnership Act registration for an AOP, or FBR registration for a sole proprietorship
- Active NTN certificate
- Evidence of manufacturing capacity — recent utility bills for the premises, and photographs of the plant
- Export or domestic sales documents from the last 12 months
- Sector certifications, if you hold them — they strengthen a profile but are not required to apply

What we are building, who it is for, and what should change.
What we are building
One place where a Pakistani factory can be found by name, and where the detail a buyer needs to qualify it — capacity, machinery, certifications, who to call — is on the page instead of in somebody's inbox.
Who it is for
Pakistani manufacturers, exporters and suppliers on one side; the procurement teams and sourcing offices trying to find them on the other. Both have been badly served by the tools that exist.
What should change
A buyer should be able to shortlist a Pakistani supplier in an afternoon rather than a quarter, and a good factory should stop losing work to firms that are merely easier to find.
The four questions every supplier asks.
Is there a fee?
Founding-cohort membership is free through the pre-launch period. Standard membership pricing will be published ahead of public launch. There are no bidding fees and no commission on closed deals, in any tier.
Who actually does the verification?
Al-Ukaz does. Our own verification team reviews your registration, tax status and evidence of manufacturing capacity, and approves the company before anything goes live. We work alongside chambers of commerce and use their corroboration where it is available, but it is not a condition of membership and no chamber decides your application.
How long does verification take?
Most complete applications are decided within two days. What slows it down is almost always a missing document, so the more complete your pack, the faster it moves. You can build your profile while the review is under way.
What if I don't have export history yet?
You can still apply. Domestic-only manufacturers are explicitly part of the supplier base — Al-Ukaz is built to open the export door, not to gate-keep it.
“Pakistan does not lack the manufacturers. It does not lack the craft. What it has lacked is the institutional spine — the trust infrastructure that lets a buyer in Hamburg or Houston transact with confidence with a workshop in Sialkot. Al-Ukaz exists to be that spine.”
Founding cohort · 2026
Be one of the first Pakistani manufacturers under the national trust seal.
Founding-cohort membership is free, and the first members are the ones our buyer routing and trade-mission calendar draws on first — simply because they are the profiles that exist. Verification takes about 2 days, so the work is better started before launch than after it.
- Founding cohort open now
- No commission on closed deals
- Ministry-recognised verification
