Proline is a privately held company that has been manufacturing and marketing the finest quality apparel since 1990. The cornerstone of our foundation is the principal of integrity, honesty and openness with our clients, staff and vendors. We take great pride in the work we do and deliver what we promise. We are an end to end solution provider. Beginning from the selection of the yarn all the way to exporting the finished product, Proline has a fully integrated, controlled, state of the art vertical unit with knitting, dyeing, washing, finishing, cutting and sewing all in house at a central facility in Karachi, Pakistan. We have grown from 10,000 ft2 in 1990 to over 130,000 ft2 presently. In 1990 we started as a commercial knitter.
Gaining from the experience and demand from our customers we ventured into establishing a dyeing plant. In 1995 we added a sewing unit to the building. In 2000, vertically integrated ourselves and added a modern automated dyeing and finishing plant. In 2002 we invested again into a state of the art cutting and sewing plant with the most modern CAD/CAM machinery along with the latest sewing machines. In 2006 we invested in our sewing department by adding more machines and floor space as well as ventured into manufacturing woven garments. Today our plant is ISO as well as WRAP(Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production) certified. The faith in our business ethics and practices shared by our clients and staff is reflected in where we are today.
