Authenticity You Can Trust

CEO’s Message

Dear FAST Family,
As we welcome the New Year, I want to thank you for your resilience and dedication over the years in building our FAST Brand.

In a market as competitive as Pakistan’s, many companies can manufacture a product, but few can build a legacy that differentiates it from the crowd. The FAST legacy is summed up in its tagline ‘Taron Se Sitaron Tak’ literally ‘Reaching for the Stars through Wires,’ which in essence means Achieving Excellence. FAST’s Excellence is embedded in its consistent offerings of REAL Quality and Customer Delight to stakeholders. Our 1st in Pakistan milestones over the years – CCV Lines, Aluminium Alloy Plant, Greeley Conductor; BASEC, UL, KEMA Gold, VEIKI VNL, ISO 17025 certifications; Fast Tasdeeq & Fast Mobile App – are all testament to the REAL Quality and Customer Delight of the FAST brand.

To continue strengthening FAST’s legacy and delivering our brand promise of Achieving Excellence, it is imperative that we continuously strive to sustain our competitive edge. Each one of us needs to think about the extra mile they can take to excel in all aspects. Whether you are in the front office or on the production line, start by asking yourself today: “How can I make my work or my team’s work exceptional?” Going forward in 2026, more than ever before, each team member’s contribution will be essential for us to deliver our brand promise and demonstrate to customers that FAST is the best in the business.

Let us be FASTER, and focused on meeting customer needs better than anyone else.

Wishing you and your families a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2026.

Warm regards,
Kamal Mian
