The H. A. Shah Group of Companies, originally only a singular entity by the name of H. A. Shah & Sons, was founded in 1890 as a leading construction company in Ludhiana, India. By 1975, the company took its roots in the chemical analysis market of Pakistan, and started off as the exclusive distributor of Metrohm (Switzerland) and Anton Paar (Austria), setting a milestone in the history of Pakistan's chemical analysis industry, as this was the first time that industrial devices and products relevant to this field and manufactured by the global market leaders were introduced to the Pakistani market. It later went on to represent Agilent Technologies, Eppendorf, Retsch, PetroTest, Metrohm Applikon, Metrohm Autolab B.V., New Brunswick Scientific, Lauda, Lynn Peavey, and Projectina, as the market of its products expanded into areas like Research & Development (Universities/Health Institutes), Quality Control (Corporate/Govt.), Chemistries & Supplies, Forensics, and Security & Surveillance. With offices in Pakistan, Bangladesh, UAE, and USA, and more than 3000 major installations all over the country, today the group has three more sister companies working alongside H. A. Shah & Sons, namely, Chrom World and the recently launched Proline Pakistan. Boasting a broad customer base in both the public and private sector, including projects funded by international donor agencies, H. A. Shah helps laboratories all over Pakistan to touch lives and inject hope.
