About 98 percent of Pakistan's fan production is in Gujrat and Gujranwala, with more than three quarters in Gujrat alone. Around 300 manufacturers employ about 40,000 people directly.
Where it is sold
Fans go mainly to the Middle East and Africa. Across all products, the US bought $5.76 billion of goods from Pakistan in 2025, more than any other country.

A business partner, not a distributor
Many Pakistani electric fans and appliances makers sell through distributors and importers. That can be good business, and we can help you win distributors as buyers. But when a distributor stands between you and the market, your name rarely reaches the end buyer and much of the value stays abroad.
We work differently. We are your US office and sales team, working for you:
| A distributor | Pak Export Partners | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the goods | The distributor buys your goods and owns them | We never own your goods |
| Whose name the buyer sees | Often the distributor's brand, not yours | Your company and your brand |
| Who sets the resale price | The distributor, with its own markup | You set your price. We add no markup |
| How they earn | A margin on every unit they resell | A monthly fee plus commission only on paid orders |
| Who keeps the buyer list | The distributor | You. Every buyer contact is in your monthly report |
Because we do not buy your goods, we have no reason to push your price down. We win when you get paid.
