Initially the company was making Talcum powder and perfume which were sold in the local market in Multan without any advertising campaign with the passage of time they start making cream and were expanding their business.

In 1990 they shift their production to swat and remain their main office in Multan near rajwana road. So there they started production and their sales increases by making wild flower which becomes popular very soon.

So because of tax free production they were enjoying good profit at the time and were able to expand their business. The company was not even his own infrastructure (Building) in swat so in 1995 they were in the position to make their own building. At that time they were having the sales manager who suggests them to invest this amount in advertising and so they agree and advertise their product with the brand name CARE COLD CREAM and make their distribution network better by hiring some new sales personnel in different area of the country. After the Advertising within 2-3 years the company earns a lot and they extended their product line.

SO they make their own infrastructure in 2001 and some new equipment was also installed there in Multan located at 11km from Bosan road.
