Agro Processors & Atmospheric Gases Limited (APAG), the manufacturer of Soya Supreme cooking oil and banaspati, made its debut on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Tuesday, marking the 12th new listing of the calendar year and the fourth of fiscal year 2026–27.
The company’s listing ceremony was marked by the traditional gong ceremony at the PSX, bringing another player from Pakistan’s consumer and edible-oil sector into the formal capital market.
APAG is a longstanding food-products company with a business history extending back more than four decades. Established in 1981, the company operates brands including Soya Supreme, Malta and Smart, with products covering cooking oil, banaspati, canola oil, olive oil and sauces.
The company’s flagship Soya Supreme brand is among the established names in Pakistan’s edible-oil market. Its listing provides investors with exposure to the consumer-goods and food-manufacturing segment, which remains closely linked to household consumption and imported edible-oil prices.
APAG had earlier moved towards the capital market through a public offering process. Documents submitted to the PSX indicated that the company planned to raise funds through an initial public offering, with the proceeds intended to support its business and growth requirements.
The listing comes as the PSX continues to attract companies from different sectors, including food manufacturing, consumer products and industrial businesses. New listings broaden investment opportunities and can improve companies’ access to equity financing.
For APAG, the PSX debut is expected to increase corporate visibility, strengthen its access to investors and provide a platform for future expansion. The company’s performance will now be assessed by the market based on its financial results, growth prospects and the broader outlook for Pakistan’s consumer sector.
