GOC (Pak) Limited, originally incorporated as a private limited company, converted into a public limited company in April 1986 and was subsequently listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange in January 1987. The Company's public offering received an exceptional response and was reportedly oversubscribed by 200 times, reflecting the strong confidence of investors in the Company at the time of listing. Since its listing, the Company has maintained an established presence in the capital market. The historical market performance of the Company's shares reflects the confidence demonstrated by investors over the years.
As part of its broader strategy of diversification into financial and economic activities, the Company also cosponsored Grays Leasing Limited, which was subsequently listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange with an equity capital of Rs. 100 million. The issue also received a strong response from investors despite the prevailing difficult investment environment.
The long-term growth of the Company is reflected in the substantial increase in shareholders' equity, which grew from approximately Rs. 225 thousand in 1965 to Rs. 723 million in 2025. This progression represents the Company's ability to build and preserve shareholder value over several decades while maintaining its presence in the sports goods industry.
The Company has also received recognition for its corporate and financial performance. GOC (Pak) Limited was included among the Top 25 Companies of the Pakistan Stock Exchange for eight consecutive years from 1989 to 1996. The Company was not ranked among the Top 25 Companies in 1997 and 1998 due to nonfulfilment of certain membership criteria, and subsequently regained its position among the Top 25 Companies from 1999 to 2002.
The Company's long-standing presence in the sports goods industry is founded upon a commitment to quality, craftsmanship, innovation and responsible business practices. Under the leadership of Chairman Mr. Khurram Anwar Khawaja and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Khawar Anwar Khawaja, the Company remains committed to conducting its affairs with integrity, transparency and a strong sense of responsibility towards its shareholders, customers, employees and the wider sporting community.
With a heritage spanning more than six decades, GOC (Pak) Limited continues to build on its established expertise in hockey sticks and cricket balls while seeking opportunities to strengthen its competitive position, expand its market presence and create sustainable value for its stakeholders.
