Pak Shaheen Group: A Legacy of Maritime Excellence since 1949.

Pak Shaheen Group stands today as one of Pakistan’s most respected and diversified logistics, shipping, and transportation conglomerates—its journey spanning over seven decades of resilience, vision, and service.

The Group traces its maritime roots to Bird & Co., a British enterprise established in 1864 in Allahabad, India, initially as stevedores and general agents. Over the following decades, Bird & Co. expanded across British India, becoming a major player in shipping, engineering, coal, and inland transport. By the early 20th century, it had established a strong presence in Karachi, serving as agents for leading European shipping lines and supporting port operations. Shortly after independence in 1947, the successors to the British Company, Bird and Co (Pakistan) came into existence in Karachi and Lahore. With agency affiliations with global players such as APL (American President Line) and Jugolinija Line (CROATIA Line) the foundation was laid for a robust shipping enterprise.

With the birth of Pak Shaheen Trading, replacing Bird and Co (Pakistan) the Group formally commenced its independent voyage under the Pak Shaheen name. Over the years, the Group’s footprint expanded through visionary leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and a strong commitment to service excellence.

In a journey that has spanned over 70 years; the Group finds a nationwide presence with locations at Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Sialkot and Multan.
