C.E.O
History of INTER- LOOP: -
INTER-LOOP was started in 1992 by two hard working
brothers named as
MR. MUSADAQ ZULQURNAIN
MR. NAVEED FAZAL
They both are well qualified. Mr. Musadaq was an electrical engineer and
Mr. Naveed was a mechanical engineer. INTER-LOOP is a socks
manufacturing organization. The idea of socks making was of Mr. Musadaq.
One day Mr. Musadaq was reading a magazine and observing clothe
designs of different famous brands. While watching he noted that there is
very small quantity of socks brands especially in PAKISTAN, so he decided
to introduce a new manufacturing organization of socks in PAKISTTAN. He
shared his idea with his friends, relatives and family members, every one
laugh at him and not a single person gave him serious response. But there
was a person who encourages him and supported him allot he was Mr.
Naveed. As we know both the brothers were well educated but there is a
problem they couldn’t afford expense of their dream. Because the heavy and
automatic machines were so costly. So Mr. Naveed was a mechanical

engineer he collect some used parts of different machines and make a
single machine. When the machine was in executable condition he brought
that to their home and tries to work on it and his experiment successes.
After that both brothers call everyone at their home and show them there
achievement. Then they decide to increase their machinery. At first they
have only one machine then they bought 8 machines and now they have

MISSIONS
Our World:
INTER-LOOP has evolved at a pace faster than what
anyone might have imagined a decade ago and has
shown continuous commitment to behave ethically;
and contribute to economic development while
improving the quality of life of our workforce, their
families and the local community at large.
At INTER-LOOP we believe that profitability and growth, combined with
development of our employees and communities and protection of the
environment endorse the long-term interests of a business.
THE CITIZENS FOUNDATION SCHOOLS (INTERLOOP CAMPUSES):
INTER-LOOP Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
with The Citizens Foundation (TCF) to construct four Secondary Schools
(two for Boys and two for Girls) and six to eight Primary Schools in five
years, and even more in future as well out of own funds including the cost

Page 34
INTERLOOP34
of building, furniture, utilities and vehicles. Each built-a-school project will
also be taken up with provision of schools support for three years.
INTER-LOOP believes in playing an active role in
social development by providing health, education
and sports facilities to the less privileged class of the
Country. The aim of construction of these schools is
to promote quality and formal education for less
privileged children in an environment that encourages
intellectual, moral and spiritual growth. The
preference for construction of schools will be given to
the rural areas and urban slums of District Faisalabad,
characterized by extreme poverty where people neither have the means nor
access to quality education.
The Citizens Foundation (TCF) is engaged in various public welfare projects
especially in the field of provision of quality education, establishment and
management of non-profit educational institutions. TCF is a professionally
managed, a non-profit organization and one of the Pakistan’s leading
organization in the field of formal education. TCF has established over 660
school units nationwide with an enrolment of 92,000 students including 46
school units in Faisalabad, Jhang and Chinoit where 10,000 students are
studying.
INTER-LOOP Limited will Insha Allah spend an
amount of 170 Million Rupees for this purpose in five
years. This has also been made part of INTER-LOOP
Corporate Objectives.

INTER-LOOP Limited has constructed four

LOOP – Begum Sarwari Sadiq Campus) in Village 242 / RB Dasuha and two

next four years (two schools every year). Land for four schools has been
purchased. Construction of two Primary Schools will be completed by end of
March 2011 and classes will start in April 2011. Total cost of Primary
Schools will be approximately 113 Million Rupees including 3.97 Million
Rupees as three years school support expenses per school.
ASSISSTANCE FOR IDP’s OF SWAT / GOJRA:
The mass exodus of population from and surrounding areas of Swat was a
human tragedy of great dimension. Every citizen played its part
contributing to well being of IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons). INTER-
LOOP Limited was second to none in contributing its Corporate
Responsibility. INTER-LOOP immediately dispatched food items and
distributed amongst IDPs of District Nowshera, as the people of these areas
deserved full support and needed to be treated with sympathy, love and
kindness. Moreover, arrangements for provisions of meal for IDPs of Gojra
were made through Government Administration Gojra during and after the
disturbance period. Optimism and hope were the galvanizing spirit to
accomplish the Corporate Responsibility by INTER-LOOP Limited.

Earthquake Tent Village:
INTER-LOOP is proud to be a part of the biggest ever humanitarian aids for
the largest natural disaster that ever struck Pakistan in October 2005,
killing over 80,000 people and rendering millions homeless. INTER-LOOP
was quick to show solidarity to its countrymen struck by this great
catastrophe and immediately chalked out a plan to set up a “Tent Village” in
Muzzaffarabad to ease the suffering of the victims.
Chattar Kalas Kohala, Muzzaffarabad was selected as the appropriate site
because of its proximity to water supply, easy road access and availability of
electricity. INTER-LOOP has been fortunate in this noble cause, as many
local and international organisations stepped forward to help INTER-LOOP
establish this facility which was designed to accommodate 1500 people.
Caritis, a French Organization collaborated with INTER-LOOP to install a
state-of-the-art clean water supply system. This facility also included pore
flush toilets, showers and laundry slabs which were constructed with the
help of OXFAM. Food was provided with the help of WFP. UNHCR donated
bedding and health related arrangements were
made in collaboration with WHO and UNICEF.
INTER-LOOP was also running a school with the
help of UNICEF. Keeping in view its overall plan
and facilities, it was declared a "Model Tent
Village" by UNHCR.
SOS Children's Village:
Our Company's Social Investment Programme aims to support activities in
the areas of education, health, community development and environment,
dedicated to the welfare of underprivileged members of our society. As part
of this programme, INTER-LOOP has been
supporting the SOS Children's Village in

cottage at the SOS Village that provides complete housing facility to

Client, Dobotex to build a major Community Centre at the SOS Village and
assisted them in completion of this project. The Community Centre caters to
the needs of nearly 150 orphaned and/or abandoned children and is
designed to accommodate events such as weddings, stage plays and annual
functions. Currently Dobotex in collaboration
with our Company is constructing a Youth
Home, which will house 25 children.
Waste Water Treatment Plant:
Our Environmental Protection System ensures
that all dyes and chemicals used in the
Production Process must not contain any harmful substance. All such
elements are safely stored and disposed off after use. The Waste Water
Treatment Plant treats all toxic chemicals and dyes before disposal.
Special Plants Production:
INTER-LOOP has embarked upon a Research Project
with NIBGE (Nuclear Institute of Bio-Technology and
Genetic Engineering) helping to produce special
plants to be irrigated with treated water, which will
absorb colours from the treatment canals. After
filtration by these plants, the water in these canals can be used for normal

SUGGESTIONS:
Our personal suggestion to INTER-LOOP that they should also manufacture
for PAKISTAN. There all production export to Foriegn Countries and
unfortunately PAKISTAN again bought that sock from them on high prices.
If INTER-LOOP directly sell their products to PAKISTANI purchasers then it
would be benifitial for PAKISTANI people.
