Founded in the 1970s, Najaf Traders started as a humble operation by Sheikh Rehmat Ali, a salesman on a bicycle. Through sheer dedication, honesty, and relentless effort, the business quickly grew into a name synonymous with excellence throughout the textile bazaars of Lahore.
In 1980, his son Najaf Ali joined, and the enterprise expanded significantly. As the authorized dealer of JP Coats threads and the pioneer behind Union Thread’s Butterfly brand in Lahore, Najaf Traders set new standards for high tenacity, colorfastness, and dependable delivery.
In 2010, under Ali Ammar’s leadership, the company embraced modern strategies, online billing, expanded product catalogs, and international sourcing partnerships, while never losing sight of the timeless principles that built its foundation.
“Provide reliable products, maintain fair dealings.”
