20 Years Export Experience • 1xxx–7xxx Alloy Series • Factory-Direct, No Middleman
Pakistan didn’t manufacture a single aluminum beverage can domestically until 2017. Before that, every can of soda sold in the country was either imported finished or filled locally using imported cans — because Pakistan has no aluminum smelter, no flat-rolling mill, and until Pakistan Aluminium Beverage Cans Limited opened its Faisalabad plant, no facility that even converted rolled coil into a finished can. What Pakistan does have is a large, decades-old extrusion industry built around the country’s construction boom — windows, doors, curtain walls, and architectural profiles — running almost entirely on imported billet and ingot. The market here splits between established extrusion manufacturers, a small number of processors and stockists supplying imported sheet and coil, and OEM manufacturers overseas who supply the flat-rolled product Pakistan doesn’t make at all. Here’s how Pakistan’s leading aluminum rolled product suppliers compare.

PABC is Pakistan’s first and only aluminum beverage can manufacturer, converting imported can-sheet coil into finished cans for major beverage brands including PepsiCo and Coca-Cola across Pakistan, Afghanistan, and other regional markets. Production capacity has grown from 700 million cans a year at launch to 1.2–1.3 billion cans a year by 2024–2025.
8. Metline Industries
Certification: ISO 9001:2008
Metline Industries processes and supplies aluminum sheets, plates, and coils in Pakistan across a wide range of alloys — including 1100, 3003, 5052, 5083, 6061, and 7075 — with products complying with ASTM-B-209M, EN573, and EN485 international specifications.
9. Chaudhary Metal House

RSC (Tianjin Ruishengchang) manufactures and exports aluminum sheet, plate, rod, tube, and coil directly from its own Tianjin facility, covering the 1xxx through 7xxx alloy series. Unlike the Pakistani companies above, it does not extrude, convert, or distribute locally — it produces to the buyer’s specification, with controlled thickness, improved flatness, stress-relieved options, and cut-to-size delivery, and exports to a growing list of markets including Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the US.
Why Pakistan’s Aluminum Industry Runs on Extrusion, Not Rolling
Pakistan has no bauxite mining and no primary aluminium smelter, so unlike some of the countries on similar lists, there’s no upstream metal production to speak of at all — every kilogram of aluminum used in the country starts as an import. What Pakistan built instead, over five decades, is a substantial extrusion industry serving its construction sector: ALCOP since 1973, Lucky Aluminium since 1980, and a wave of Lahore and Karachi-based extruders through the 1980s and 1990s, all working imported billet into window, door, and curtain wall profiles. Flat-rolled product tells an even starker story. PABC didn’t exist until 2014 and didn’t produce a single can domestically until 2017 — before that, a country of over 200 million people imported every finished beverage can it used, or filled cans that were themselves imported. That gap, between a mature extrusion sector and essentially no domestic rolling capacity, is the defining feature of sourcing aluminum sheet and plate in Pakistan today.
Sourcing Custom Aluminum Sheet Through an OEM Partner

If your project needs standard extruded profiles, Pakistan’s established extrusion manufacturers cover that ground directly. If you need flat-rolled sheet, plate, or coil — standard or custom alloy, thickness, or temper — there is no domestic mill to source it from at any volume; every option runs through import, whether via a local stockist adding a distribution markup or an OEM partner supplying directly from the mill. For custom specifications or bulk orders, going straight to an OEM manufacturer typically removes a layer of cost rather than adding one.
FAQ
Does Pakistan manufacture its own aluminum sheet or plate?
No. Pakistan has no primary aluminum smelter and no flat-rolling mill. All aluminum sheet, plate, and coil used in the country is imported, then processed, cut, or converted locally by companies such as Metline Industries, Chaudhary Metal House, and PABC.
What standard applies to aluminum sheet and plate sold in Pakistan?
Pakistan does not have a distinct domestic standard widely used for aluminum flat products; local suppliers typically certify compliance with international specifications such as ASTM B209M (US), EN573, and EN485 (European). Buyers should confirm which of these a supplier’s product is certified against before ordering.
Is it cheaper to buy aluminum sheet from a Pakistani stockist or an OEM partner overseas?
It depends on volume and specification. Small quantities in common alloys are often more convenient through a local stockist for fast turnaround. Custom specifications or larger bulk orders are typically more cost-effective sourced directly from an OEM mill, since local stock already carries an import and distribution markup.
Conclusion

Pakistan’s aluminum industry is built on decades of extrusion capacity and almost no domestic rolling — a beverage can industry that’s less than a decade old is a good measure of how recent even basic aluminum conversion is in the country. If you need standard extruded profiles, the manufacturers above are worth comparing directly. If you need flat-rolled sheet or plate in a custom specification, an OEM partner is generally the more direct path to a product built to your own requirements.
