Faisalabad Dry Port has established its supremacy in upcountry dry ports within short span of 16 years by handling large quantity of export/import cargo worthy billions of rupees per annum. This is an organization with the progressive and dynamic outlook and well run by highly qualified, professional and committed management which has achieved the object for quality service to our clients and continue doing contribution in promoting economic activities.

 To ease the rush at Karachi Sea Ports, the government decided to set up a chain of upcountry dry ports to provide the custom clearance facilities at the door step of exporters/importers. Faisalabad Dry Port started its operation on experimental basis on 1^st January 1994 and by the passage of time, the volume of the export/import cargo containers crossed 33000 export containers and 5500 import containers per annum but due to present crisis and shut out of gas and electricity, the industrial production suffered a lot during the last 2 years resultantly there was a decrease of cargo at dry port.

 Faisalabad Dry Port was sanctioned in 1990 during the 1^st tenure of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto (Shaheed) who also inaugurated the project in 14-04-1994 as the then Prime Minister.
