Decades of Commitment, Honesty, and Growth

From a small-scale hardware stockist in 1980 to a trusted nationwide distribution network dealing with leading national and multinational brands.

Our Story

Four decades of trusted distribution

Shan Distributors was formed in 1980 as a small-scale stockiest of paint and hardware items. In 1984, Berger Paints Pakistan Ltd. — a multinational company — appointed Shan Distributors as sole distributor for the north area of Pakistan, including NWFP/KPK and the complete Azad Jammu and Kashmir region. We have remained Berger's sole distributor for this territory ever since, a partnership that reflects our commitment, honesty, and dedication.

By 2009, Shan Distributors had grown into a well-established distribution network working with a range of multinational and national companies, while also engaging in the import and export of hardware items. Today we serve accounts of every size — specializing in small retail and wholesale stores where no order is too small and none too large — dealing in wholesale paints and hardware, as well as consumer products like milk and juices.
