Ismail Industries Ltd (IIL) was incorporated in 1989 as a Public Limited Company and is the largest confectionery company in Pakistan.

CandyLand, currently the largest confectionery company in Pakistan, started its operations on June 21, 1988. The foundations for the first production plant were laid down on 1 acre of land, and the first brand was launched in 1990. From that point onwards, the company has constantly achieved one milestone after another, and today we have expanded our production facilities to over 8 acres of land.

We are the pioneers in jellies and have launched brands in technically difficult categories such as lollipops and marshmallows. We take pride in delivering the best quality products and our brands strive to delight our consumers. Ensuring that we deliver on our values has also helped us to establish export in more than 30 countries around the globe. With the passage of time, not only have we become the largest confectionery company in Pakistan but we are also the market leaders in seven out of the nine categories that we operate in. We have achieved this position by launching and nurturing some iconic brands that include Chili Mili, ABC Jelly, Funny Bunny, Puffs, Candyland Éclairs, Fanty and a range of chocolates that include Now, Paradise and Sonnet. What’s more is that all these brands are ISO 22000 Certified and Halaal Certified from SANHA.

Bisconni started its journey in 2002 with the philosophy of producing biscuits which meet international standards of quality and food safety. Bisconni operates from a state-of-the-art facility located in Hub and has increased its production manifold since its inception. We have a diversified product line, and so our factory is capable of producing plain biscuits, sandwich biscuits, cookies and wafers. Bisconni entered the Pakistani biscuit market with its chocolate filled cookie Cocomo, which over the years has become one of the iconic brands of Pakistan.

Snack City is IIL’s latest expansion in food items. The company has invested in world’s best machinery to manufacture Real Potato Chips and other snacks. The SnackCity division of Ismail industries was established in June 2006 when the company set up its purpose-built manufacturing facility at Hub and began production of its potato chips Kurleez. Having achieved great success in a short span of time, the foundation for a second production facility was laid down in Lahore in March 2010, which today is operational and caters to demand for our potato chips in the North and Central regions of Pakistan.
