Branding experts could not imagine how Olper’s could distance itself from its
parent company’s incredibly unappetizing, chemical-laden, and non-edible
roots. Yet, by the end of 2006, sales for Olper’s Milk had reached Rs.1 billion
(approximately US$ 15 million) and in 2008, the brand has a market share of
close to 22 percent—second only to Milk Pak (estimated at 40 percent). The
critics had to grudgingly accept that the new entrant to the multi-billion rupee
packaged milk category meant business.
The packaged milk category was originated in 1981 by (quaintly named) Milk
Pak, which pioneered tetra pack milk in Pakistan. The supply chain involved
collecting milk from rural areas across Punjab, processing the milk through
UHT (Ultra-High Temperature Processing) treatment, and selling it to
consumers in uniquely colored triangular and rectangular packs designed to
prolong the milk’s quality. Milk Pak’s “Milk Packs” were very well-received and
the brand soon became synonymous with quality milk. Its first real
competition came in the form of Haleeb, which introduced distinctively blue
tetra packs to the market in 1986.
Milk Pak, however, further grew in stature when Nestle used it to break into
Pakistan's marketplace. By 2006, the dairy milk category was growing at 20
percent annually, and Milk Pak and Haleeb were well-entrenched brands with
distinctive colors and brand promises of providing high quality, natural and
healthy milk. Milk Pak was identified by its green and white packaging—the
colors of the country—and offered a brand backed with the strong equity of
Nestle, coupled with its own traditional heritage. Haleeb was recognized as
the blue brand, and professed to have the "naturally thickest" milk. With the
market dominated by two strong, familiar, and widely respected brands, the
marketplace appeared completely impervious to newcomers.
Rafey Nisar Zuberi, the marketing manager for Engro Foods, says, “From the
onset, we wanted to introduce a true paradigm, bringing the dairy
brand to the fore.” The name itself made it sound like a foreign brand,
giving the perception of quality, and was unlike anything previously
experienced by Pakistani consumers. Rafey continues, “We wanted
consumers to consider Olper’s as a contemporary and modern
