PREFACE
The internship is an essential part of MBA (3.5) degree program because through this
training students come to know the real difference between theory and practice and
they are also introduced to the outside business world. An important requirement of this
training program is to compile a report about the activities of that organization in which
the student has done the internship.
My Internship was in the Sales and Marketing Department at the Head Office of
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (Pvt) Limited. Internship mainly consisted of work related to
Sales and Marketing. During the 8 weeks of internship I was able to grasp the
procedures, processes and dynamic tasks of the Projects Sales and Marketing
activities.
My this experience in FLOWPAK Pump Industry will definitely help me a lot to make my
foundation to enter into a professional field and where I can apply my this experience
diligently. This period has a key importance in my career life because I gained a lot
through this internship and I will try to apply it in my future job. In future
correspondence, my internship period will guide me to choose my career path because
it enables me to know the work nature of multinationals. I learnt practically a lot during
this internship period which assists me to choose my practical field in future.
I hope this report will help in understanding various aspects and features of FLOWPAK
Pumps Industries (Pvt) Limited and will be equally important for commerce students and
persons making future careers in multinationals.

Company Perspectives:
FLOWPAK products' success stems in large measure from the company's own Research and
Development. Specialists there put major emphasis on the continual improvement and automation of
pumps and valves, and on the reduction of life cycle costs.
8
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
In the global competitive environment, our customers and business partners expect, in
addition to high-quality products and services, professional and honest behavior that
includes compliance with legal regulations and ethical standards. By meeting these
expectations we cement confidence in our company and the FLOWPAK brand. At the
same time, we maintain the values that have characterized FLOWPAKs activity for
decades.
We are jointly responsible for our companys reputation. Improper behavior by even one
person can damage our reputation for a long time. That is why we need a binding
concept of what defines our shared understanding of professional and honest business
behavior. We have summarized the relevant guidelines and key rules in the following
Code of Conduct. We will keep a close eye on future developments in the legal and
business environment and adapt the Code as required.
The FLOWPAK Code of Conduct offers orientation and assistance but also contains the
binding requirements our actions need to be based on. Fully committed to these rules,
we expect consistent adherence to the following core values from our managers and
employees at all levels and will monitor this in an appropriate manner.
We are confident that you will all comply with the requirements laid down in this Code of
Conduct.
9
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
Proper conduct particularly involves acting with integrity, reliability and transparency.
Your observance of these core values is as much a requirement for justifying the trust
our business partners place in us and being a successful market player as is the high
quality of our products and services. FLOWPAKs reputation is more important than the
individual success of any particular business transaction or person.
In some countries business practices do not meet the requirements of this Code of
Conduct. Nevertheless, we expect our employees to use these rules for guidance on
the basis of the relevant applicable laws. Regional regulations shall have priority if and
to the extent that they exceed these requirements; the relevant regional Management
shall outline any variations.
10
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
The members of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board of FLOWPAK who
exercise management responsibility shall act as role models for others. They are
expected to observe the principles laid down in this Code of Conduct with special
commitment, as well as provide support and ensure they are complied with in everyday
work life.
Reports and communication to those within the company, business partners, and
investors, the public, official organizations and authorities shall be understandable,
truthful and submitted in good time; they must also be in compliance with the applicable
laws and regulations. Our financial statements shall correctly document business
transactions.
We cooperate with official organizations and authorities and support their work whilst
maintaining our rights.
11
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
Law-abiding Behavior
We operate our business in such a manner as to comply with the applicable laws, other
binding regulations and obligations that we have entered voluntarily. It is in particular the
responsibility of the relevant line manager to give employees all the necessary
instructions and support, e.g. access to all internal guidelines, and if necessary to
explain them.
In order to reduce risks employees should obtain advice from the relevant Legal Affairs
department if there are legal issues in question.
Each employee shall handle the companys resources, such as machinery, fixtures and
office materials, responsibly. Private use shall be prohibited as a matter of principle and
shall require approval in each individual case. In particular, the Groups guidelines
governing the use of telecommunication resources and computers shall be complied
with.
Innovative products and solutions are of great importance for the development of the
company. Inventions made by employees or third parties for the company must be
legally protected by reasonable means. No employee may disclose information on the
companys know-how and expertise (e.g. design drawings) or business secrets to
project partners or other third parties without being expressly authorized to do so.
Corruption, Bribery
12
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
When competing for orders FLOWPAK bases its decisions on objective economic
criteria such as quality and price.
Our employees are not permitted to offer or give third parties direct or indirect
advantages to exert an unfair influence on economic decisions, whether through
financial payments or other means. No employee may use his or her employment to
demand, accept or otherwise acquire unfair advantages. Employees who sign contracts
with consultants, agents or similar third parties must ensure that the latter also comply
with these rules.
Gifts, favors, hospitality or other benefits may only be given or accepted if they do not
infringe applicable laws or FLOWPAK guidelines and neither damage the public
reputation of FLOWPAK nor the probity of the employee if they become known publicly.
In cases of doubt, the matter must be discussed and agreed with the line manager or
the relevant Compliance Officer.
Awarding Contracts
FLOWPAK maintains fair dealings with all business partners. Suppliers and service
providers are selected using objective and traceable criteria as well as on the basis of
comparing quotations.
Business Incentives
Payments
Payment for goods and services received shall be made directly to the relevant
contractual partner and in general in the country where it is based. Cash payments
13
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
should not be made except in documented individual cases. Before agreeing on other
payment arrangements the relevant Legal Affairs department or company
representatives (Advisory Board, Board of Management etc.) must be informed.
Secondary Employment
Holding a second job that is not simply of marginal scope requires the prior consent of
the relevant Human Resources department. Secondary employment with customers,
suppliers or competitors always requires prior consent. Consent will not be given as a
matter of principle if the secondary employment may adversely affect work
performance, contradicts the employees duties or if there is a risk of a conflict of
interests.
14
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
Business Opportunities
No employee may exploit FLOWPAK business opportunities to his or her own
advantage or the advantage of third parties.
Insider information shall always be treated in strict confidence and relates to facts the
knowledge of which could affect an investors decision about the purchase or sale of
listed shares (or derivatives thereof). This applies, for example, to knowledge about
material planned acquisitions or sell-offs, strategic alliances, major agreements or likely
differences in corporate profits to those published.
In line with the legal provisions and regulations applicable in this context, FLOWPAK
employees must ensure that no insider information is used when trading shares or
derivatives (including that relating to business partners) and that this information is not
disclosed to third parties.
2.8 Confidentiality:
Information that FLOWPAK has not made public (e.g. technical knowhow and expertise)
shall be treated in strict confidence as a matter of principle. It must not be disclosed to
un-authorized third parties (including family members and friends) during or after the
end of the employment relationship.
It is prohibited to use confidential business information during or after the end of the
employment relationship for personal advantage, the advantage of third parties or the
disadvantage of FLOWPAK.
Each employee shall handle confidential data responsibly and with foresight, for
example store it carefully rather than leave it lying around, in order to protect it from
access by third parties.
15
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
FLOWPAKs social commitment includes making donations, mainly for social or cultural
purposes. Donations are made in a transparent manner and free of personal interests
on the basis of traceable criteria and the corresponding internal guidelines. All donation
processes are documented.
As a matter of principle FLOWPAK does not get involved in party political activities. This
includes financial support and benefits for parties, political organizations and their
representatives as well as activities or events on behalf of or on the premises of
FLOWPAK. However, our employees are always free to get involved appropriately in
political activities as private individuals and citizens outside working hours.
3. Special Issues:
3.1 Competition and Cartel Law;
When dealing with competitors and business partners we follow the rules of fair
competition. These are the basic requirement for performance-based market
regulations. Any and all actions that aim to create an economic advantage in a manner
that contravenes competition law or using cartel agreements are prohibited. This relates
in particular to agreements among competitors to fix or control prices, boycott certain
suppliers or customers, share customers or markets or restrict the production or sale of
products.
Infringing current competition law can result in substantial fines, risk of damages and
loss of image that harm our company and its position in the marketplace. In addition, the
affected employees themselves will have to expect legal consequences.
16
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
Without approval by the relevant authorities, FLOWPAK does not export or import
materials, products or technologies that are subject to statutory control and require
import or export permits.
Employees on international assignments are obliged to comply with the tax laws that
apply to them personally in line with our deployment regulations.
17
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
and have every right to trust in the perfect condition of our products and services.
Meeting the high safety and quality requirements of our customers is one of the key
corporate objectives.
FLOWPAK respects the rights of employees and third parties relating to their personal
data. The company takes the necessary precautions to ensure that personal data is
only recorded, processed and used in strict compliance with the relevant applicable
provisions.
3.8. IT Security
4. Implementation:
Each line manager ensures that employees are informed about the content of the
FLOWPAK Code of Conduct and comply with its stipulations. Employees can discuss
any questions with their line manager or relevant Compliance Officer.
18
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
The Group Compliance Officer supports the implementation of the Code of Conduct
throughout the Group. In this function he reports directly to the Chairman of the Board of
Management but does not receive instructions from him. In addition, other Compliance
Officers may be appointed, e.g. with specific technical or regional responsibilities.
If the Group Compliance Officer determines that there is reasonable initial suspicion of
an infringement of the provisions of the Code of Conduct he may request other Group
departments to assist in clarifying the matter. Information on any incorrect behavior will
be treated anonymously on request in order to avoid disadvantages for the person
providing the information.
Ombudsman
If employees are or become aware of facts relating to criminal or cartel law, instead of
the relevant Compliance Officer they may also inform the law firm commissioned for this
purpose by FLOWPAK. The law firm will forward such information to the Group
Compliance Officer but without naming the informant in order to ensure confidentiality in
such cases (ombudsman system).
19
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
1. This Corporate Directive provides standards of behavior for all employees of the
FLOWPAK Group for the avoidance of corruption. It is intended to help employees
conduct themselves correctly in specific situations in order to avoid damage to
themselves and the company.
2. In all their business activities and decisions, our employees shall at all times observe
the applicable laws and regulations (including the relevant FLOWPAK regulations).
2. Corruption is a crime. Both the recipient and the grantor of the advantage or benefit
make themselves criminally liable.
4. Corruption does not just begin with the acceptance or granting of benefits. Even the
offer, promise, demand or acceptance of a promise already results in criminal liability
and all the consequences associated therewith.
20
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
Corruption may have far-reaching consequences for employees and the company:
1.1 A person who is guilty of corrupt behavior whether through the granting or the
acceptance of advantages commits a crime. In the course of investigations, searches
are frequently carried out of private homes and places of work, and interrogations
conducted of work colleagues and supervisors. A person who is found guilty of
corruption may be sentenced to several years of imprisonment or a high fine.
1.3 Through corrupt behavior, employees breach their obligations as towards their
employer. As a rule, corrupt behavior entitles the employer to dismiss the employee
without notice.
2.1 If employees are guilty of corrupt behavior which would have been prevented or
made considerably more difficult through proper supervision on the part of the company
management, the management may have an administrative fine imposed upon it, and in
individual cases even be made criminally liable.
21
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
3.1 If employees are guilty of corrupt behavior, a high fine may be imposed on the
company. This fine may, in certain circumstances, reach the amount of the sales
revenue generated by the transaction affected. The company may also be excluded
from public contracts.
3.2 If partners to a contract or any competitors have suffered damage by the corrupt
action of an employee, the company may face a civil law claim for damages.
2. FLOWPAK prohibits any and all participation in or tolerance of bribery or any other
form of corruption.
3. FLOWPAK will continuously improve the controls for the avoidance and exposure of
corruption in order to detect and eliminate possible weak points that promote corrupt
behavior.
4. The basic principles addressed in the FLOWPAK Code of Conduct require that in
each commercial activity even the appearance of corruption or corruptibility shall be
avoided.
22
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
The following rules of conduct are intended to serve the avoidance of even the
appearance of corrupt behavior:
1.2 FLOWPAK employees shall immediately reject any attempt on the part of suppliers
to unfairly influence the placing of orders through the offer, promise or granting of
personal advantages.
1.3 FLOWPAK maintains its market share exclusively through the high quality of its
products and services, customer friendliness and an attractive price/performance ratio.
1.4 FLOWPAK employees are prohibited from making any attempt to unfairly influence
customer decisions through the offer, promise or granting of personal advantages.
2.1 FLOWPAK employees are prohibited from offering, promising or granting monetary
or material benefits of any kind whatever to public officials, however insignificant such
benefits may be. The reason for this lies in the particularly strict rules which generally
forbid the offering or granting of any benefits to a public official, regardless of their value.
2.2 The strict provisions relating to public officials and authorities apply first of all to all
holders and institutions of public power, such as federal and state governments, district
authorities, municipal authorities, facilities of the German Federal Armed Forces, courts,
institutions, corporations and foundations established under public law, employees of
the above-mentioned bodies, officials, soldiers and judges (the examples relate to
Germany).
2.3 The strict provisions relating to public officials and authorities further apply to
privately organized establishments with public tasks or state participation, such as
23
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
3.1 Business partners within the meaning of the following provisions are persons or
businesses and their management executives, employees and representatives with
whom FLOWPAK maintains, has maintained or might in future maintain business
relations.
3.2 FLOWPAK employees shall not demand, either for themselves or third parties, any
invitations to meals or events, any presents, other benefits, personal services or any
other favors from business partners.
3.3 Neither FLOWPAK employees nor the immediate members of their families may
receive any monetary presents regardless of their amount from business partners.
Conversely, FLOWPAK employees shall not offer, promise or give any monetary
presents to business partners.
3.4 FLOWPAK, within the scope of the applicable laws, takes into account the concept
of social custom in the case of the acceptance and granting of presents or benefits.
Each culture and society has traditional manners of behavior which are regarded as
customary; the failure to observe the same would on occasion even be considered
impolite, and convey a low estimation of the opposite party. Accordingly, as a rule of
thumb, the following applies: The receipt or granting of presents or benefits is, as a rule,
impermissible if the same no longer fall within the scope of what is socially customary,
i.e. if the boundaries of business custom and also the personal status of the parties
involved are exceeded taking into account the respective level in the hierarchy and
24
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
the reason for the present or benefit. The specific provisions to be observed at
FLOWPAK in this connection are set out in the following sections.
3.6 Provided any possibility is excluded that business decisions might thereby be
influenced or a corresponding impression thereby be created, FLOWPAK employees
may, on special business occasions, both participate in and issue business catering
invitations within the customary social scope.
3.7 The participation in events and trips the costs of which are borne by third parties is
permissible for FLOWPAK employees if:
3.9 In cases of doubt, the prior consent of the responsible Compliance Officer shall be
obtained.
25
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
Fees for agents and consultants are in practice frequently open to the suspicion that
they serve to conceal corrupt benefits. In order to preclude even the appearance of
unfair behavior, the following points in particular shall therefore be subjected to a critical
examination when involving agents and consultants:
4.2 Nature of the activity and documentation: The performances owed on the part of the
agent / consultant shall be laid down in detail by contract (e.g. the negotiation on a
case-by case basis of certain business transactions or certain financing). The
FLOWPAK employee responsible shall record in writing the performances received, and
confirm the same to the payee when remunerating the performance. Running activity
reports or file notes may serve in this respect as documentary proofs.
4.4 Through the use of compliance clauses it should be contractually agreed that agents
/ consultants shall not use the money received from FLOWPAK for corrupt behavior,
and that FLOWPAK shall also not tolerate any other corrupt practices on the part of the
agents / consultants. Corrupt behavior / practices shall - as far as possible be subject
to penalties and the right to extraordinary termination of the contract.

49
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
Along with the strengths, FLOWPAK Pumps also has some weaknesses. First one is
the pressure and deadlines for the plant. Plant is operating at its full capacity and
company cannot afford the breakdown or shutdown of the plant because demand is
always on the higher end. Further production at remote area, also increased
transportation cost to the different areas of the country.
Opportunities:
Market Development
Loosening of regulations
There are a lot of opportunities for the FLOWPAK for the Pumps Business. Due to high
growth of industry in Pakistan, demand of the Pumps is increasing day by day as it is an
important segment for different industries like power generation, textile, paper etc.
Further economy of scale is also an important opportunity. There is only one competitor
for the FLOWPAK in Pumps and FLOWPAK has hold on more than 70% of the market.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Consumer Services Department but couldnt get what and where it is. Well the
name suggests that it should be most visible and active department, I wonder if it
is there. If it is there it should be organized at a larger scale and efforts should be
made to interact more frequently and at a personal level with the consumers.
Though the company is on its good pace but there is always a room for improvement
and high standard settings. In this short span of time I have seen good integration
approach among all departments. However, more target orientation should be imparted
in the employee as they being a strong and vital asset of the company. More focus
should be given on employee satisfaction to help strengthen the value chain between
customers and the company.
Moreover the reporting system can be made more effective and efficient by deploying
SAP into the organization followed by proper training of the employees.
Last of all I must appreciate FLOWPAK Pumps and BZU (IMS) once again for providing
me the golden opportunity of spending 8 weeks in such a wonderful place where most
people can only dream of it. It was an experience of life time. I got the chance of sitting
among the ideal sort of people, professionals whose names are engraved as pioneers
and geniuses of the field. I learned about meeting and dealing with people. I must say
56
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited
that the integration of this internship program will definitely a significant improvement in
my future professional life.
I conclude my report here by again paying regards to Allah Almighty who gave the
ability to complete this tedious task and all other people who have helped me in this
task.
