UK–Pakistan economic cooperation received a fresh boost as global healthcare company Haleon announced a new investment of USD 4.8 million to expand its production facility in Jamshoro.
The move reflects growing confidence among international firms in Pakistan’s industrial potential and long-term economic direction.
The investment will be used to expand Haleon’s production line in Jamshoro, strengthening local manufacturing capacity and creating new skilled jobs.
Officials and industry observers say the project will not only improve output but also help upgrade technical skills among the local workforce, contributing to higher-value industrial activity in the region.
Haleon’s decision is being seen as a strong signal of trust in Pakistan’s workforce, business environment, and future prospects. Rather than treating Pakistan only as a consumer market, global companies are increasingly choosing the country as a reliable production hub within their international supply chains. T
his shift supports the broader goal of integrating Pakistan into high-value global manufacturing networks.
Jamshoro’s growing industrial profile also highlights how targeted foreign investment can support regional development, improve productivity, and strengthen export-oriented industries.
The new expansion is expected to enhance efficiency and product quality while increasing the site’s role in Haleon’s regional operations.
The UK–Pakistan economic partnership has been steadily expanding in recent years, and this latest investment underlines that trend.
It sends a positive message to other international investors that Pakistan remains open for business and capable of supporting long-term, sustainable industrial growth.
