About Us

Three Generations One Commitment to Quality

For more than five decades, AsiaTex has been shaped by a simple belief: lasting quality is built over time. What began in 1971 as a family textile business has evolved through three generations into an integrated textile manufacturing company serving international markets. 
Our history is one of continuous evolution — from trading to manufacturing, from local markets to global partnerships, and from traditional weaving to modern, increasingly sustainable production. Yet through every chapter, the principles established at the beginning have remained unchanged: integrity, craftsmanship, quality, and trust.

Our Journey

Three Generations. One Commitment to Quality.

1971

The Foundation

Our journey began when Mr. Hanif established Hanif Cloth House, a retail textile store built on trust, quality, and exceptional customer service. These values continue to define our business today.

1982

From Trading to Manufacturing

The second generation, Mr. Muhammad Tayyab and Mr. Muhammad Tahir (late), took the family's first step into manufacturing by installing two shuttle weaving looms. This marked the beginning of our transformation from traders to textile manufacturers.

1984–1996

Building Manufacturing Expertise

Over the next twelve years, we specialized in manufacturing premium yarn-dyed fabrics for Pakistan's leading commercial exporters. During this period, we developed the technical expertise and production standards that became the foundation of our future success.

1996

Birth of Asiatex Corporation

With a vision to serve international markets directly, Asiatex Corporation was officially established. In the same year, Mr. Muhammad Yousaf (late) and Mr. Ali Tahir joined the company and played a key role in building and expanding our export business.

1999–2003

Expanding Our Global Presence

To better serve our growing international customer base, Asiatex established its New York office, strengthening relationships with clients in North America and supporting continued export growth.

2002

Our Own Weaving Mill

A major milestone was achieved with the establishment of our first dedicated weaving mill, equipped with Sulzer shuttle weaving looms, significantly increasing our manufacturing capacity and quality capabilities.

2003

Taking Our Brand to the World

We made our debut at Heimtextil Frankfurt, the world's leading home and textile exhibition. Since then, the exhibition has remained an important platform for building lasting partnerships with customers from around the globe.

2011

The Third Generation Joins

The third generation of the family business joined Asiatex as Muhammad Umer Hanif and Muhammad Ahmed became part of the leadership team. Building upon the legacy of their grandfather Mr. Hanif and the vision of Mr. Tayyab, they continue to drive innovation, modernization, and sustainable growth.

2014

Strengthening Vertical Integration

Our manufacturing capabilities were further enhanced with the installation of an in-house sizing unit, providing greater control over quality, efficiency, and production consistency.

2019

Investment in Modern Technology

We expanded our weaving capabilities with the installation of advanced Vamatex weaving looms, improving productivity, precision, and manufacturing flexibility.

2020

A Commitment to Sustainability

As part of our environmental responsibility, we commissioned a 100 kW solar power system, reducing our carbon footprint and supporting cleaner manufacturing.

2024

Entering Premium Terry Manufacturing

Our production capabilities expanded with the installation of modern Vamatex terry weaving looms, enabling us to manufacture high-quality towels and terry products for global markets.

2025

Expanding Green Energy

Our renewable energy investment grew with the expansion of our solar power system to 350 kW, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable manufacturing.

2026

Growing for the Future

To meet increasing global demand, we further expanded our terry manufacturing capacity with the installation of additional modern terry weaving looms, strengthening our position as a trusted textile manufacturing partner.

TODAY, A Heritage of Making. 
A Vision for Tomorrow.

More than fifty years after the opening of Hanif Cloth House, the family business has become a vertically integrated textile manufacturer with a growing international presence. Three generations have contributed to its evolution. Each generation has added something of its own — while preserving the principles established at the beginning. Today, AsiaTex brings together heritage and technology, craftsmanship and scale, experience and innovation. Our manufacturing capabilities continue to evolve. Our international relationships continue to grow. Our commitment to responsible production continues to deepen. Yet the essence of the business remains remarkably simple. Make it well. Make it responsibly. Build relationships that last. That is the legacy we inherited. And it is the standard we intend to carry forward.
