Engro Foods Limited (EFL) led its foundation in 2005 and within such short span of time it has

showed stupendous and extraordinary growth as compared to other dairy manufacturing companies.
EFL launched its first product in 2006 with brand name OLPERS. It was a huge success
due to its distinctive design (red colour) and innovation is the way they wipe out some
the leading marketing giants such as Haleeb off the charts and even giving hard time to
Nestle and Uniliver. Olper’s stands as a favorite for mothers seeking pure and delicious
nourishment for the health and wellbeing of their families.
Using their corporate knowledge, they studied prices of the competitors and introduced
their milk packs with a price slightly lower than their competitors and differentiated itself from its
competitors in the form of taste, quality and availability of products. Additional advantage has been
achieved through their good brand name, latest technology and high production capacity, distribution
networks (600 distributers across Pakistan) and awareness of dissatisfaction with loose milk as an
opportunity. It is giving a tough competition to Nestle since the very beginning and has grabbed a
market share of 27%.
Target Market:
This product is produced for many audience and users from higher or middle-income families who
loves to stay healthy, active and fit. Olper's dairy focuses on a person being bodily and emotionally
fit, so people will look after this as a brand and will be expecting benefits that your marketers have
identified. It is an ‘All-purpose’ milk for an entire family.
Shortcomings/problems:
The statistics show that Pakistan is the third largest milk producing country in the world, with urban
consumption of about 7 billion liters annually. There is an overall growth in the PLM sector due to
awareness in health and hygiene, this coupled with an increasing dissatisfaction with the loose milk
from the local “doodhwala”. In Punjab loose milk costs between Rs. 46 and Rs. 50 while tetra packed
milk costs around Rs.75, same is the case is in Sindh where the price difference between the fresh
milk and packed milk is around 20. These are a few problems which have to be solved in order to
penetrate the market to the full extent.
 Nestle
The market leader, introduced the concept of processed milk and established the
concept of tetra pack milk in Pakistan with the name Milkpak since 1981. This
name was well perceived by majority and a synonym was attached to the Milkpak as “quality milk”.
They have targeted their market to areas restricted to near proximity to urban areas and are targeting
people having a middle or high social class. They have always served the milking sector up to their
capacity. The product is unique due to the addition of irons, vitamins A and C in the milk.
 Haleeb Milk
Haleeb foods was established in 1986, just after the initiation of Milkpak from
Nestle. They were quite a competition for nestle when they launched haleeb milk
in 1986, however they were unable to make that sort of a image that the Milkpak achieved in early
80s. Haleeb milk is said to be homogenized that means that all the nutrients and minerals are spread
equally in a single carton. They have pure UHT standardized milk, with 6 layered packing with a shelf
life of 3 months or so.
 Anhaar Milk
Anhaar “fresh” milk just turned into the milking market recently. They have entered
market with a different aspect of processed milk with the shelf life of 3 to 4 days. They
turn down the idea of UHT standardized milk because according to their research UHT
heated milk loses its original nutrient and minerals. Along with this the UHT heated milk
lessens the advantages and over stresses the immune system.
