Introduction

From their humble beginnings in 1992, the two entrepreneurial brothers, Musadaq Zulqarnain & Navid Fazil, and their friend Tariq Rashid, started their luck in hosiery manufacturing. Little did they know that their dedication will embark them on an expedition to transform Interloop into US$ 476 million company it is today. With their mother, Begum Sarwari Sadiq, helping to spark their vision, the Interloop journey began with a simple cup of tea and a discussion about the perfect name for their company. As an ode to the meaning of knitting, the company was aptly named ‘Interloop’.

 

Headquartered in Pakistan, Interloop Limited today is a full-family clothing company that specializes in the production of hosiery, denim, knitted apparel, and seamless activewear for leading international brands and retailers, endeavoring to become a partner of choice for all. It is an inspiring global company with 32,000+ employees and a network spanning 3 continents. Interloop has the capability to work with different materials and produce 795 million pairs of socks and tights annually for renowned international brands and retailers. It’s inspiring to see how the founders and the team have created a successful hosiery manufacturing and exporting business and expanded into apparel manufacturing over the years.
