Company Overview

Pakistan Drums (Pvt.) Limited is one of Pakistan's most established steel drum manufacturers, with a legacy spanning over a hundred years of container manufacturing. As part of the EA Group of Companies, we operate large-scale manufacturing plants equipped to produce drums, barrels, kegs, and tin containers for a wide spectrum of industrial applications.

Our products serve the chemical, petroleum, food processing, pharmaceutical, bitumen, and defence sectors. We supply to multinational corporations, government organizations, military clients, and small-to-medium enterprises across the country. Every product leaving our facility meets rigorous quality standards and complies with international specifications, ensuring safe storage and transportation of both hazardous and non-hazardous materials.

Our manufacturing facilities operate under a comprehensive Environmental Management Plan approved by the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), and the Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency, reflecting our commitment to responsible and sustainable manufacturing practices.

Pakistan Drums (Pvt.) Limited manufactures all products in compliance with EN 209 and EN 210 European standards for steel drums. Food-grade steel drums and tin containers have FDA-approved internal lacquer coatings suitable for direct contact with edible products. Our chemical-grade steel drums are engineered for the safe containment of hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals and meet UN-approved standards for the storage and transportation.

Unmatched Durability Every drum is built to withstand extreme industrial conditions, heavy-duty use, and long-distance transportation.

Quality Certified All products conform to international standards including EN 209 and EN 210, with rigorous in-house quality testing on every batch.

Custom Solutions We offer tailored specifications — custom gauges, internal coatings, external finishes, printed graphics, and closure configurations to match exact requirements.

Nationwide Supply Reliable production capacity and logistics infrastructure to deliver across Pakistan, from Karachi's industrial zones to facilities in Lahore, Islamabad, and beyond.

Environmental Responsibility Our operations comply with Sindh Environmental Quality Standards for air emissions, wastewater, noise, and occupational health and safety. We are committed to pollution control, waste management, and continual improvement.

Sustainable by Design Steel drums are inherently recyclable, reconditionable, and reusable — making them one of the most cost-effective and environmentally responsible packaging solutions available.
