A Message From Our Leadership — The Founding Story of Al Goher Trader
"My dearest father and my elder brother Peer Mehdi Shah Hamdani saw that our area has a precious hidden treasure. Hamdani Salt Factory was established by my father and brother as a family enterprise and one of the first salt factories at Warcha Salt Mine Road, Quaidabad."
From Hand Tools to Fifty Countries
What they saw beneath our hills was not just rock salt — it was a 250-million-year-old gift that could carry the name of Warcha to the world. They began with hand tools, a small workshop, and a conviction that quality and honesty would open doors that money could not. Three decades later, that family enterprise has become Al Goher Trader — exporting to more than fifty countries, certified by international bodies, and honored by the Sargodha Chamber of Commerce with awards presented at the highest levels of Pakistan.
The Principles Have Not Changed
We still mine by hand. We still grade every crystal ourselves. We still treat every buyer — from a first-container importer to a national retail chain — as a partner in the story my father and brother began. On behalf of our whole family and the people of Warcha who work with us, thank you for your trust. We look forward to putting our salt, and our word, in your hands.
— Shah Shamas Ul Arifeen, Al Goher Trader
