1. Introduction
The statutory body of PSIC was established in 1972 with the mission to promote, sustained industrial development through provision of market driven credit, infrastructure and technological support contributing to employment generation, poverty alleviation and socio-
economic uplift of the province.
The Punjab Small Industries Corporation Bill, 1973 was passed by the Provincial Assembly on 13 July1973. Since then PSIC has been a sound contributor to the small industrial development in the province through its various schemes. Recent transition of industrial climate and liberalization of the total economic environment within the country and international area has witnessed tremendous change in domestic as well as international market. PSIC’s story of excellence is spread over more than four decades of transitive growth and development of small scale industry. PSIC has proved its strength in the country by exhibiting a progressive attitude towards modernization, up gradation of technology, quality consciousness, strengthening linkage with large and medium scale enterprises and boosting exports of the products from small enterprises. PSIC is an important instrument for enterprise building, micro economic development and employment generation and poverty
alleviation.
The development and upgrading of clusters is an important agenda for economic growth in national economies. Handicrafts clusters development initiatives are an important new direction in economic policy in macroeconomic stabilization, privatization, opening of markets, and reducing the cost of doing business. In this regard, our consultancy services are sought for diagnostic study of industrial and handicrafts clusters in Gujranwala, Wazirabad, Gujrat and Mandi-Baha-ud-Din districts of Punjab.

As per Trade map statistics Pakistan exports represents very small share in world exports for
kitchenware products in 2015. Major Export potential exits in USA, Germany, Middle East,
Europe, South Africa and Australia. Competition in market is increasing and Pakistan is losing
its share of exports owing to inability to access and mature international business, non-
availability of local raw material as per required quality, immature technology and lack of
research and development.
Moreover, branding and product promotion techniques are primitive which not only result in
shrinkage of export share but also result in creation of lesser value addition in manufactured
goods.

Raw Materials
Melting & Molding
Major raw materials includes stainless steel, aluminum, Wood and nails.
Rolling Mill
Raw aluminum is fired and converted into a molten state it is filtered to remove contaminants, the liquid aluminum flows into the verticle rectangular molds, which are surrounded by a jacket of water which cools the liquid to make it from a liquid to solid. The Fireman ensures proper temperature.
ALUMINIUM CIRCLE:
Heating Aluminum Circle
Pressing Process
Polishing
Brand Name Punching
The circle is cooled down and pressed into a desired shape in a DOUBLE ACTION DEEP DRAWING PRESS MACHINE. You can provide any kind of shape using a press machine with the help of different dyes. After pressing of aluminium circle, the edges or corners of aluminium utensils are cut to give them equal corners using CUTTER MACHINE.
These billets are rolled in HOT ROLLING MACHINE and later in COLD ROLLING MACHINE to provide us aluminium sheets in a preferred gauge. The quality control supervisor keeps a continuous watch to ensure rolling within laid down tolerances. The sheets drawn out of the Rolling Machines can be of long length so these sheets are cut into half using SHEARING MACHINE.
After that the product is sent to the "Polishing Section" to remove the upper layer of the aluminium utensil to give shine in the utensil. It can also be possible to not go through this process and ANODIZE the product as required by the customer.
Finishing ProcessThe worker then punch hole at the precise locations on the side of the product e.g pan and fixing the handle by passing pins through these holes. Then these goods are packed into boxes depending on the user requirments
After this process, the sheets are cut into Aluminium Circle using CIRCLE CUTTING MACHINE.
After Aluminium Circle is cut, it is put back into heating furnace so that the circle becomes soft and doesn't break in the further processes to come. It is again very important to ensure proper temperature control in furnace.
An automated machine punches the company name and information on the product e.g pan
Washing The product is the washed properly and dried and make it ready for finishing process

3. Value Chain Diagnosis
3.1. Raw Material:
The basic raw materials used for kitchenware
products in Gujranwala is Aluminum, stainless steel,
nails and pins. It comprises about 40% of total cost
of the product.
Aluminum cookware is very commonly used by most
of the consumers. Using non-stick, scratch resistant
anodized aluminum cookware is a good choice
because its hard surface is easy to clean whereas
uncoated cookware can be easily melt and cause

burns. The most commonly used aluminum alloy
is 3003 grade which is available locally as well
as imported from other countries. Aluminum
prices are set locally by Gujranwala large
industry players which is then adopted by the
SMEs.
Stainless steel utensils are very much in
demand due to the finishing and benefits it
offers to the consumers. Stainless steel
cookware is low in cost and can be used at high
heat. 18/8 and 18/10 grades are the most
common stainless steel grades used for food preparation and dining, also known as Type 304
(304 Grade). The "grade" of stainless steel refers to its quality, durability and temperature
resistance. The numbers (18/8, 18/10) are the composition of the stainless steel and refer to
the amount of chromium and nickel (respectively) in the product.
Potential countries for kitchenware products, requires compliance with standards as to raw
materials. Locally available stain less steel is of inconsistent quality and do not qualify as food
grade. As per our survey, about 32% of the industries are facing issues about availability and
quality of raw materials.
While China and other countries on the other hand use materials which are much cheaper and
of good quality. Quality of local steel and aluminum is variable, which effects product quality
and price. Only few kitchenware industries comply with the industrial standards. Moreover,
availability of steel of desired specification is also an issue in the industry. The stocks and
prices are quite variable resulting in pricing problems for the industry.
Local and imported raw material can be procured from local market on cash and credit basis.
About 36% of industries use local raw materials, over 32% use imported as well as local raw
materials while remaining use only imported raw materials.
3.2. Processing:
Machining process represents 15% of the
total cost of the kitchenware product.
Nearly 32% of the units in cluster
outsource some of production activities to
other industries and 64% of the units do
not outsource any activity to other
industries.
After raw material procurement first
process is melting of aluminum and
conversion into molten state after
removing its impurities and contaminants.
After that molted state is converted into
solid by a jacket of water. These billets
are rolled into Hot Rolling machines and later in cold machines to provide aluminum sheets in
a preferred gauge. These sheets drawn from the Rolling machines can be of long length which
is then cut into small pieces by using shearing machines.
After this process, the sheets are cut into aluminum circle using circle cutting machines. Then
aluminum circle is heated in furnace to make it soft which does not break in the further

DIAGNOSTIC STUDY FOR KITCHENWARE CLUSTER GUJRANWALA
27
processes. Then aluminum circle is cooled down and pressed into desired shape in a pressing
machines. In this process any kind of shape is provided with the help of different dyes.
After that product is sent to polishing
section to remove the upper layer of
the aluminum and to give it shine. It is
also possible to anodize the product
as required by the customer. Now in
some industries sand blasting is used
to clean the surface of utensil and
prepare it for coating. Then product
is washed properly and dried before
finishing process. In the finishing
process handles are then fixed to the
pans or other articles by the use of pins or nails and then these goods are packed into boxes
depending upon user requirements.
Overall, the technology is energy inefficient and contributes to higher processing costs. Non
availability of electricity is also affecting production operation adversely.
3.3. Labor:
Labor cost constitutes 35% of the
total cost of the kitchenware
products. Skilled labor is required for
manufacturing of quality kitchenware
products. Based on our survey, only
56% of units stated that workforce is
easily available whereas 36% of
industries highlighted that workforce
is not easily available. Availability of
skilled labor is also a major concern
in kitchenware industry. About 76%
of industrial units stated that training
facility is not available in the cluster
whereas non availability of skilled
labor is a major concern of 30% of
industries as indicated in survey.
Labor cost is also high because of manual techniques used in production process. Cluster is
experiencing issues in retaining existing labor. New generation is also not attracted towards
this industry due to unsatisfactory working environment. This situation increases the
bargaining power of existing labor and they are demanding higher wages that ultimately
affects the cost of products.
3.4. Sales and Marketing
Manufacturer’s margin on sale price of the
kitchenware products which includes selling costs
represents 10% of the total cost of the product. The
products are mainly marketed in both local as well
as in international markets. About 95% of units are
PUNJAB SMALL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION (PSIC)
DIAGNOSTIC STUDY FOR KITCHENWARE CLUSTER GUJRANWALA
28
marketing their products through distributing brochures while remaining units through used
electronic media and social media.
Most of the units are selling their products directly from plants and only few of manufacturers
sell their products through distribution channels. Therefore, the marketing techniques
currently being employed are primitive and result in lower value addition.

4. Understanding Effects of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on Local Industry
Several projects under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor are in process currently. The corridor has long lasting effects on the economic development of Pakistan, especially industrial sector of Pakistan. To provide readers a holistic view about the opportunities and challenges emanating from CPEC for industrial sector, this section has been included in this study.
Brief Introduction
The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is an ongoing development megaproject, initiated in 2013, which aims to connect Gwadar Port in south-western Pakistan to China’s north-western autonomous region of Xinjiang, via a network of highways, railways and pipelines to transport oil and gas. Further, The plan is involved in laying the foundation for regional cooperation, improving economic growth, development of Gwadar port, investing in transporting, mining, telecommunication, industrial parks, offering trade diversifications and creating political flexibility. The plan has a vision with world-changing implications, an explanatory plan that would unite much of Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania and the Middle East much more closely together through a patchwork of diplomacy, new infrastructure and free trade zones.
Investments and Projects
In persistence of CPEC, Pakistan and China signed an agreement to commence work on the estimated $45.6 billion agreement, highest foreign direct investment after 9/11. Out of $45.6 billion, $33.8 billion and $11.8 billion were embarked for energy and infrastructure sector respectively. It is also estimated that $11.6bn will be invested in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, $11.5bn in Sindh, $7.1bn in Baluchistan and $6.9bn in Punjab, out of total $33.8 billion embarked for energy sector.
Opportunities and Impacts
As a large portion of CPEC is reserved for power projects to reduce demand-supply gap in energy-starved Pakistan. Further as part of CPEC, industrial estate/special economic zone fortified with all basic infrastructure facilities i.e. electricity, gas, roads, sewerage system, emergency services etc. is developed in each province of Pakistan. China has also plan to shift technological and scientific knowledge to Pakistan by establishing technical institutes in Pakistan resulting in supply of trained and skilled labor.
The supply of uninterrupted energy, easy excess to markets, infrastructural development, and
establishment of industrial zone and availability of skilled labor provide growing and investment opportunity to local and international investors and also attract foreign direct investments. It also provides opportunity to local industry especially SMEs’ to get access to international markets for their products or to procure raw material at low rates. The above stated facts also help the industry especially SMEs’ to reduce the cost of production resulting in export potential at competitive prices.

The investment is believed to augment the growth and income levels, which should help improve feasibility of expansions, expand margins and accelerate earnings growth. Consumers stocks would also benefit from the higher demand and income levels.
CPEC results in employment, revenue generation and technological advancement that ultimately lead to development of local industry especially for SMEs. It is estimated that proposed investment portfolio will add 2 to 2.5% in country’s economic development growth.
Despite the pros of the CPEC, we also need to examine the possible long run challenges on local industrial sector, especially small and medium sized manufacturers , due to increase in global competition. The competition will primarily emanate from introduction of cheap Chinese products in local market and gulf countries where lower transportation cost will be an added competitive advantage to China. Smuggling of Chinese products will also be encouraged by said project. It is estimated that imports from china will be increased by 33% on completion of CPEC. Steel, cement, agriculture, electronic appliances and fertilizer industry, especially SME’s, will be most affected industry due to increase in import of Chinese products.
CPEC – The Way Forward for Industrial Sector
Government, in alliance with all stakeholders including political and business community , universities and local people, should develop a strategy after conducting an in depth homework to capitalize all benefits associated with CPEC and to overcome threats arising from Chinese products, as earlier discussed.
Government institutions can help prepare industries for CPEC. In this regard, areas of attentions are briefly discussed hereunder:
► Provide guidance to industries about the possible challenges to industrial sector
► Provide assistance to industry for improving advancement of technology
► Provide technical and financial support to SMEs’ to access capital market
► Create strong linkages between academia for research and global competitiveness as
well as on collaborations with both domestic and international markets.
► Provide financial support to ensure sustainability of SME’s
► Initiation of government programs to encourage private-sector collaborations
► Provide business development services to SMEs’ to manage their growth
► Issue prudential regulations and guidelines for the creation of venture capital and
private equity fund.
► Take steps to reduce reliance on imports.
► Provides ground for academia and opinion makers to share their concerns, doubts, and
analysis, useful to achieve ultimate objectives of project.
Thus CPEC is indeed a great ‘game changer’ which should complete its short term goals but for long-term trade goals, Pakistan shall really have to exploit opportunities from this corridor at full potential and also save interests of existing industries through their capacity building.

5. The World Trade Organization
The World Trade Organization (WTO) intends to supervise and liberalize international trade. WTO was established on January 1, 1995 under the Marrakech Agreement, replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The basic objective of WTO is to create a liberal and open trading system for member countries where these countries can trade with each other without any trade barriers. It tries to provide market access to countries for their products and services and promotes friendly investment policies by eliminating trade distortions between countries, trimming down tariff and non-tariff barriers, removing quotas and abolishing subsidies in a phased manner.
It also has rules that protect local businesses and industry from foreign goods and services using unfair practices like dumping or transfer pricing mechanisms. WTO has rules to address quality issues, labor standards, environmental aspects, government regulation, and legal frameworks.
Currently 162 countries are member of WTO and it overseas 60 agreements related to trade liberalization. Few of the most discussed agreements are “Agreement on Agriculture (AOA), General Agreement on Trade in Service (GATS), Agreements on Trade related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures”
We have carried out 327 surveys in 12 clusters of Gujranwala, Wazirabad, Gujrat and Mandi Baha-ud-din and during survey it was revealed that only 12% of industry was aware of the WTO regime.
Impacts of WTO agreements on industry of Pakistan are descried below.
► WTO liberalize international trade by removing tariff and non-tariff trade barriers, Pakistani industry will have access to major markets of developed countries and products of Pakistani industry can be competitive due to lower trade barriers and duties in those markets.
► Government will not be able to protect local industry by imposing higher tariffs to the imported goods.
► Industry can achieve economies of scale through increased production as industry will have access to additional international markets.
► Local industry will be able to import quality raw material from developed countries at cheaper rates which will result in decreased production costs and enhance quality.
► Trade liberalization encourages competition as international products with better quality will have access to Pakistani markets with lower trade barriers and tariffs. However, increase competition may threaten the survival of local manufacturers.
WTO agreements will have both positive and negative impact on the local industry. Industries should be provided awareness about WTO regime and how to prepare for upcoming challenges.

6. Detailed Issues, Recommendations and Action Plan
The issues and impediments have been identified through the analysis of secondary and
primary data collected through the meetings with the stakeholders including Associations and
industrial surveys in the cluster, and are provided in the subsequent section. Reader are
encouraged to go through all issues and recommendations to comprehend the relationship
between all issues and recommendations and thus to have a holistic view of the issues in
hand.
The following cluster issues and impediments were observed during the discussion with the
association as well as meeting with entrepreneurs in the cluster.
6.1. Outdated Technology and Energy Inefficiencies:
a) Issues
The main issue in kitchenware industry is the lower productivity and increase cost of
production due to inadequate up-gradation of technology and out dated processes being
followed. Annual production capacity of industries can be seen in following pie chart.
Currently 32% of industry is outsourcing some
of its activities, this can be related to the less
efficient machinery used for production. Major
issue faced by the industry is the outdated
technology. Competing countries like China
and Hong Kong in similar industry, has quality
production process using modern and efficient
technology. Gujranwala kitchenware industry
is using obsolete technology in production
process. Energy losses in casting are quite
high. High wastage of raw material, there is
around 60% wastage in overall process. There are 24% to 28% losses in rolling and edge
cutting. Most of the industries use old and manual machinery, only few industries have CNCs
and other modern equipment. From raw material melting to rolling, old machinery is used. As
kitchenware industry focuses on innovation, if technology of manufacturing process is not
upgraded as per industry requirement, this can make the industry survival very difficult.
There is a huge difference in the production quantity and time of the old and new technology.
In kitchenware industry, customer demands good quality and a well finished product. These
deliverables and competitive advantage cannot be achieved, if modernized and efficient
machinery is not used.
As per survey, 52% of current industry has not faced any issue with current technology while
44% of the respondents faced issues with using current technology. No support from
Government departments especially in technology awareness and procurement of machines
is being provided.
b) Recommendation
Level of technology used in production determines the quality of product. Kitchenware
industry needs to improve the current level of technology in production process. Following
steps should be taken to counter the above mentioned issues:

► Government can support the cluster by importing latest production machinery or
bringing in the technology to equip local manufacturers. Further Latest machines can
be developed in Gujranwala by the process of reverse engineering.
► With currently installed melting machines in Pakistan, aluminum is processed at speed
of 400kgs/2 hrs whereas the latest technology available can process at speed of 50
tons/ 8hrs.
► Melting (Rolling) machines (convert raw aluminum in the aluminum sheets/rolls)
should be installed which can process 50 to 100 tons of material and can provide
services to Fan, Utensil and other aluminum sheet using industries. Total investments
on such machines would be Rs. 30 crores.
► Industry owners can be educated about the potential benefits related with using latest
technology. Such as:
- High wastage of raw material can be reduced
- Other benefits in form of improved fuel efficiency can be achieved
- Lower production wastages (there is more than 50% loss on circle cutting with
existing technology, whereas internationally it is around 25% to 30%) can be
achieved.
► Moreover latest sand blasting and grooving machines should be used for in production
process that will enhances the quality of the product as well as saves the production
costs. These machines can be imported from China and Korea at low prices.
The degree of automation involved determines the number and skill level of labor required.
Number of labor currently employed and the time it currently takes to make same product
will be reduced if the degree of automation involved increases.
Industrial owners can be inclined to purchase the new equipment if they are properly
informed about the potential savings in terms of energy conservations and about revenue
generation avenues emanating from quality output from the new machinery. Other
incentives can also be provided based on the suggestions of major industrial players.
Energy audits have not been conducted in this sector. Government can support energy audits which will identify the power savings and also calculate the payback time. This will provide incentive for the investment in the energy conservation measures for the industry.
Further, it is important that at least three techno-economic studies shall be carried out by PSIC through a third party to examine the impact of refurbishment of technology The results of such studies should be discussed and shared with all the stakeholders for their acceptability and applicability in the remaining units in the cluster.
To reap benefit of new technology uninterrupted supply of energy is mandatory to avoid equipment failure and achieve maximum efficiency. Moreover, industries will need finance to upgrade equipment for which they should be offered finances on easy terms and conditions.
For keeping the industries upgraded with latest available technologies, Trade Development Authority Pakistan (TDAP) should make arrangements for the participation of the main cluster actors in the international exhibitions at a subsidized cost
6.2. Energy Disruption and Unavailability:
a) Issues
According to survey results, non-availability of gas and electricity and unannounced load shedding is a major issue affecting the productivity of industry. Electricity and Gas are the main power source for kitchenware industries.

Not answered
Avg. work days as per surveys
In Pakistan unannounced load shedding is done throughout the year and gas supply to the industry is discontinued in winters. There occurs supply shortage in other months as well with low pressure issues. Lack of production during this time in the local industry allowed the import of Chinese products, which are superior in quality and cheaper in rates. This has seriously damaged the position of the local industry which in turn increased the bargaining power of the distributors.
Out of total 28% of the industry worked less than 300 days due to energy issues, including electricity shortage, faced by kitchenware industry.
As per our survey, the problems faced by the industries with regard to energy supplies are shown below:
Issue Frequency
Alternate sources like Tyre, Rubber & Furnace Oil used 1
Electricity & Gas are required to compete the market 1
Low cost fuel should be available 1
b) Recommendations
Major sources of energy in kitchenware industry are electricity and gas. But current amount of electricity generated is not sufficient to meet the industrial demand. Also, there is irregular supply of gas to production plants. To counter this issue and to ensure the availability of smooth power, uncut electricity and gas supply with proper pressure needs to be assured. Also, uninterrupted supply of electricity will address the current issue which is faced by industries in form of polluting the environment by using alternate sources like burning tyres and furnace oil for power generation to run the industries. Government can ensure the consistent uninterrupted supply of gas to the kitchenware industry for identified months. Supply of gas can be linked with the energy conservation measures taken by the individual industry to provide incentive for the investment in new technology.
6.3. Issue pertaining to raw material:
a) Issue:
Stainless steel and aluminum are major raw materials. The performance of production process is entirely dependent on quality of stainless steel and aluminum. Generally aluminum and stainless steel of prescribed standards is used in production. Slight variation in quality standards affects the finished goods and salability in both local as well in international market. Moreover, food grade steel is required for exports to potential countries.
As per our survey, about 32% of the industries raised a concern of non-availability of raw materials and its quality is not as per desired specifications. About 36% of industries purchase raw materials from the local market whereas 28% industries import it from other countries. And 32% industries procure from both local and international market. Industries are required to pay heavy import duties on import of steel and aluminum which increases the
PUNJAB SMALL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION (PSIC)
DIAGNOSTIC STUDY FOR KITCHENWARE CLUSTER GUJRANWALA
35
cost of production and makes the product less competitive in local as well in international market.
As per survey results, frequency of issues identified is presented hereunder:
Issue Frequency
Raw material quality should be improved 1
Less cost material should be available & there should be check & balance system
1
b) Recommendation
Link between research institute from academia and industry should be foster. For this
purpose, workshops should be organized in consultation by chamber where representative
from the research institute may make the industry familiar about the services. Such sessions
should be organized on consistent basis to establishing striking relationship between the two.
In short term, a research project should be facilitated by government which should be carried
in collaboration with the association to develop alternative food grade stainless steel and
good quality of aluminum.
Till the time such alternative steel and aluminum is made available, import duties should be
lower to increase the competitiveness of local industry in local and international markets.
Incentives should be offered to industry in the form of tax credit on the use of food graded
stainless steel and aluminum for local consumption of kitchenware products. After primary
acceptance of food graded stainless steel and aluminum for local consumption, a complete
ban on use of substandard quality in stainless steel and aluminum should be imposed by
adopting international standards.
Government should facilitate chamber of commerce/ association to organize awareness
session for industries to make them understand the potential benefits in organizing them on
same point to reap the potential benefits of consistent and competitive rates for stainless
steel and aluminum procurement.
Conversely Government can setup a regulated material storage bank. Where local raw
material and imports can be stored for the consistent supply to the industry at a consistent
rate. This can be set up under the strict surveillance of the association.
Price should be closely monitored to facilitate the manufacture to buy the raw material at a
competitive price. Also, the quality of raw material should be maintained as it will directly
affect the quality of products manufactured. Raw material locally produced can be improved
with the installation of the new extraction facility. Thus the quality of end product will
increase and dependence on imported raw materials as well as price fluctuations will
decrease. It will also neutralize the bargaining power of the local suppliers and importers.
6.4. Issue Related to Advertisement and Marketing:
a) Issues
Major advantages of advertisement can be taken while introducing new product into market, fighting competition, enhancing goodwill and educating the customer. But kitchenware industry in Gujranwala lacks in proper marketing techniques. Only few big industry players do few advertisements but most of the kitchenware industry do not advertise their products properly.
PUNJAB SMALL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION (PSIC)
DIAGNOSTIC STUDY FOR KITCHENWARE CLUSTER GUJRANWALA
36
Survey results shows that publicity and marketing through brochures is practiced by almost 95% industries while remaining use a mix of print and electronic media. Brochures are not considered as effective source of marketing. That means only 5% of industry is effectively involved in marketing. Less marketing means low sales, lesser competitiveness and low brand recognition.
Pakistan has competitive advantage in making hand made products. The benefit in form of higher sales and expanded geographical spread cannot be completely achieved unless the competitive features of products are not advertised. Currently, products are majorly exported to Middle East, Africa, Europe, USA, Afghanistan, and Australia.
Also, major portion of sales of kitchenware is made through dealers. There is probability that dealers might not be selling the products under company’s brand name. If exported, this will lead to lesser brand recognition globally.
The system of making online sales is not being followed effectively. Also, the website of
companies are not matured as compared to international kitchenware company websites.
b) Recommendation:
Proper sales and marketing should be conducted both for local and international market. Advertisement should be made to retain the current market share and to enter in new local markets. Advertisement will help in market penetration and will facilitate the entry in areas with higher product demand.
Also, website of companies should be properly developed. Websites should be regularly updated and on line order and payment facility should be provided to current and potential customers. Websites should include:
► History ► Range of product ► Brands / trade mark under which product are sold ► Current products innovated ► Features of innovative products ► Photographic display of products (to make the product look more attractive) ► Specialties and health benefits of products manufactured ► Detail of quality certificates possessed ► Warranties and product recall terms and conditions ► Few recipes to attract the customer to visit website more ► Feed Back portals on the website
Also, companies should have a skilled and responsive marketing team which will be continuously addressing the queries of customer and timely responding to complaints with a proper solution. Brands currently exporting should have their websites with online order and payment facility to save customer time and minimize order placement processing and delivery time.

6.5. Non-Stick Cookware:
a) Issues
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also known as C8, is a man-made chemical. PFOA has the
potential to be a health concern because it can stay in the environment and in the human
body for long periods of time. Studies have been conducted on PFOA and it has been found
that once the coating of PFOA comes off, the pan is too dangerous to be used and should be
discarded. Consumers are not usually aware of the danger associated with using these
utensils.
A lot of research has been conducted on the usage of PFOA, as a coating material for non-stick cookware and it has been concluded that PFOA is very harmful for human consumption, when heated to a very high temperature i.e. 446o F , the coating emits toxic particles and gases. At 680o F six toxic gases are released. These are cancer causing. Studies have shown that PFOA can cause cancer of the pancreas, liver and can lead to miscarriages.
According to Environmental Working Group, thermal degradation of PTFE leads to a litany of toxic compounds, including highly corrosive and lethal gases, and PFIB (Perfluoroisobutene), a chemical warfare agent that is 10 times more lethal than phosgene (a chemical warfare agent used in WWI and WWII).
b) Recommendations:
Proper instructions should be clearly stated on the website of companies and all the health issues related with using non-stick cookware should be communicated to consumers to avoid any litigation from customers resulting in fines and penalties and to save the brand repute of the company.
Investment should be made in research and development, to find an alternate material to PFOA. Many large manufacturers, globally, have innovated alternated coating material such as ceramic coating. Now ceramic coating is currently being used by few large players in Gujranwala (Sonex and Casio Metal Industry). All Industries in Gujranwala should immediately switch to new materials. Furthermore, stainless steel can be used in cookware because it is one of the most inert metals and is less problematic than aluminium. Similarly cast iron pans can be manufactured as alternative for non-stick pans if it is seasoned properly. It is less expensive and add iron to the diet.
Government should educate the customer about the harmful effects of PFOA coating. Manufacturers should advertise the benefits of using new coating. This strategy will attract new customer, consumers will discard the old utensils with harmful coating or the ones whose coating has been removed. This will increase the sales of new products both locally and internationally. Industry should immediately introduce the product with innovative coating as information is spread about the harmful effects of PFOA. Because once the consumer has bought new innovative range they will not be buying the new ones until their old cookware are un-useable.
Further, there should be surprise visit by the association and other government institute on the manufacturing plants to inspect the material that is being used to coat the utensils.

6.6. Issues related to Aluminum cookware:
a) Issues
Aluminum is a soft and highly reactive metal that can leach into food, especially when you are cooking with acidic ingredients. The metal-food reaction can form aluminum salts that are associated with impaired visual motor coordination and Alzheimer’s disease.
Use of aluminum utensils is considered to be an important element especially in patient with chronic renal failure. If indigested through dietary sources, aluminum is absorbed through the intestine and is mainly excreted through kidney. Retention of aluminum in human body causes many toxic effects on various biological systems.
Such as aluminum inhibits parathyroid secretion, exposure to high level of aluminum effects central nervous system, accumulation of aluminum in liver causes cholestasis. It also results in osteomalacia and microcytic anemia.
In countries like Pakistan, where aluminum utensils are widely used in kitchens and unbalanced diet in routine, incidence of aluminum intoxication is more than the western societies.
b) Recommendations:
Government should make such regulations to restrict the production of aluminum cookware and make aware the consumers about the proper way to use the cookware. It can be possible by attaching detailed descriptions on the cookware regarding proper use and potential usage period of the product. After that the cookware should not be used for cooking purpose. Such awareness should be extended by arranging seminars and exhibition by involving different stakeholders.
Stainless steel utensils should be preferred and awareness should be made to educate people about the harmful effects of aluminum utensils. Iodized aluminum can be used as alternative to aluminum. It is collusion resistance and anodizing process locks the aluminum and saves the consumer from harmful effects.
6.7. Unavailability of Skilled Labor
a) Issues
Currently, there is issue related to availability of skilled labor. As per the surveys, 56% of the industries highlighted that work force is easily available in the area, whereas 36% stated that work force in not easily available.
According to 76% of respondents, there are no functional training institutes. Skilled man power is not easily available, young generation joining the industry is not trained as per required skilled level and lacks in ethics. Current labor in industry is skilled in accordance with old technology. TEVTA has never contacted kitchen ware industry to provide training to labor. There is lack of training facilities, usually Teacher & Disciple system followed.
Also, 15.4% of industry is facing difficulty in retaining the available skilled labor. Problem of literacy is faced by 3.8% of industry. There is also lack of facilities for labor such as subsidized food, first aid, etc.

Sr. No Suggestions Frequency
1 Labor is not trained & ethical 3
As per survey, the major issues pertaining to human resource are as under
b) Recommendations
Training institutes including TEVTA and others should play active part and introduce courses with consultation of the kitchenware industry. Both industry and the institutes should work in collaboration. If job placements are guaranteed at reasonable wages for the trained workforce then new entrants can be interested in learning the skills.
Employees working conditions can be improved with the advent of new technology. Growth in
the industry can motivate the industrialists to invest in the health and safety measures and
provision of facilities for the workforce. Further, export markets require proper ratings of the
industry in terms of health, safety and overall working conditions. Industry needs to be
informed about these requirements through workshops. This will help them to be part of the
global value chains as well. For short term, health, safety, environment and transportation
facilities should be improved.
6.8. Lack of Research and Development (R & D):
a) Issues
No research and development is conducted by local industries. Product designs are generally A copies or are as per customers’ specifications. It’s a big issue, as kitchenware industry is innovation driven industry. There is no research and development hence innovation in the products. This has resulted in the following:
► No product diversification. ► Lack of knowledge of new technology and techniques. ► Lack of market research for the product demand such as kitchen ware, decoration
ware, table ware and stone ware.

b) Recommendations:
Globally kitchenware industry is an innovative industry, any new idea which can bring ease and quality products can give boost to the sales of that company. As non-stick cookware was an innovative product. This idea took the industry by storm, there was an increased demand in market for it and the companies which were able to meet the demand on time were able capture maximum market share. Similarly, many kitchenware manufacturers are currently working internationally on finding the alternative to PFOA coating by replacing it with ceramic coating.
But industry in Gujranwala Pakistan lacks in innovation. Most of the manufacturers copy the designs of international products. China is a direct competitor in copied products, selling low quality, copied products at low price. So, Gujranwala industry is facing direct competition from China in copied products.
Industries making kitchenware can increase their product range by making cutlery products. Also, companies should make kitchenware electrical appliances including electric juicers, blenders, mincing machines etc.
Diversification will help companies in two ways. First, it can save the advertisement cost which will be spending if companies are planning to diversify in different industry. Secondly, consumer demands ease and time saving articles. Switching to electrical appliances is the need of hour and if any innovative product is introduced it can give a competitive advantage to manufacturers.
6.9. Low awareness of Quality Standards
a) Issues
The ISO 9000 family addresses various aspects of quality management and contains some of ISO’s best known standards. The standards provide guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer’s requirements, and that quality is consistently improved.
Standards in the ISO 9000 family include:
► ISO 9001:2015 - sets out the requirements of a quality management system ► ISO 9000:2015 - covers the basic concepts and language ► ISO 9004:2009 - focuses on how to make a quality management system more
efficient and effective ► ISO 19011:2011 - sets out guidance on internal and external audits of quality
management systems.
During our industry survey, we identified that 52% of industries are ISO certified while 44% are not. However, around 20% industries are planning plan to get ISO certification. While16%
of industries has other accreditations. This affiliation with international standards and
accreditations is low in order to penetrate in international market
b) Recommendations
Seminars and workshops should be conducted to educate the industry and to help them understand the benefits of international standards and accreditation. Companies can get competitive advantage both locally and internationally if those have quality certifications. We can attract foreign customers by ensuring them that company is making a quality product in a standard working environment. ISO certified companies must be provided benefits and incentives to encourage other companies to obtain certifications.

6.10. Difficult Access to Financing Facilities
a) Issues
Lack of finance is a major issue which is faced by current kitchenware industry. Kitchenware industry lacks innovation, using obsolete technology and has poor infrastructure. These can be related to lesser finance availability. 44% industries stated that their financial position has declined over two to three years. Also, the current financing arrangements for bringing new technology are not pursued because of high interest rates offered by financial institutions and the religious factors associated with the interest rate.
b) Recommendation:
Incentives or loans should be provided to purchase new machinery to meet the product quality and design at international level. Government should take initiatives to provide subsidized loans to manufacturers. Different type of financing mechanism should be introduced to provide loans to:
► Large manufacturers: Long term loans at higher rate ► Small manufacturers: Medium term loans at lower rate
Also, loans can be provided by assessing the need or portfolio of a particular manufacturers and terms can be decided after making the assessment.
6.11. Inadequate Infrastructure
a) Issues
As per the survey findings, buffing/polishing cause severe damage to environment, almost 450 buffing units are operational causing immense damage to environment and causing health problems. Also, no proper method for disposal of acidic water exit, which is used for anodizing aluminum. None of the industries have dust collectors and the smoke emitting from utensil factories is polluting the air.
Anodizing is done using SO2 (Sulphur Dioxide) and NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) and these two are major air pollutants. SO2 reacts on the surface of a variety of airborne solid particles, it is soluble in water and can be oxidised within airborne water droplets to form sulphuric acid (H2 SO4), which falls as acid precipitation or "acid rain". SO2 emissions arise from the oxidation, during combustion, of the sulphur contained within fossil fuels. Environment department is emphasizing on reducing these hazards even if it leads to closing the industries.
NO2 is also very dangerous, when it is inhaled, nitrogen dioxide becomes a serious air pollutant which may:
► Cause pulmonary edema (accumulation of excessive fluid in the lungs) ► Be part of acid rain (destroying fish and plant life in lakes, damaging surfaces of
buildings etc) ► Contribute to photochemical smog
Further, Conditions of roads, drainage and sewerage were not given satisfactory rating during our survey. Results of our survey as to satisfaction with infrastructural facilities presented below:
PUNJAB SMALL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION (PSIC)
DIAGNOSTIC STUDY FOR KITCHENWARE CLUSTER GUJRANWALA

b) Recommendations
Companies should restructure their operational style in a way that it will protect the environment. Such as:
► Cutting down the use of such energy sources which are causing damage to environment
► Having dust collector in industries
► Using proper disposal methods for disposing acidic water.
Environmentally friendly products should be manufactured and all health related factors should be considered, as kitchenware is directly linked with human health. Emissions of SO2 are proportional to the sulphur content of the fuel, although with regard to coal a proportion, usually less than 10%, is retained in the ash. Therefore, one of the simplest ways to reduce the amount of SO2 released from the combustion process can be achieved by switching to a fuel that has a lower sulphur content, i.e. burning low sulphur coal or gas instead of high sulphur coal.
One production plant should be imported and machinery should be produced locally through reverse engineering based on the technology of imported model machinery. There are competencies in Gujranwala to produce such machinery through reverse engineering, this will ensure the survival of industry in long term and will help industry in competing at international level.
To improve the infrastructure, following should be given priority attention:
► Road, sewerage, drainage and water supply system should be improved. Plan for continuous repair and upgrade infrastructure facilities should be devised.
► Unavoidable load shedding, after giving priority to provision of electricity and gas to industry, should be scheduled and announced.
► The industries in association with the provincial government should develop a plan for the setting up of treatment plant as well as solid waste disposal site.

6.12. Quality of Product Exported:
a) Issues
As per survey finding, 44% of kitchenware industry is exporting their products. This means almost half of industry revenue is coming from international market. But as products are manufactured and dispatched to exporting countries, containers are opened by authorities for inspecting the shipment/lodgment. These opened cartons are not properly closed and usually goods get damaged in this process causing bad reputation, customer dissatisfaction leading to product rejection from the buyers. Product damage can be related to poor product packaging skills of labor.
b) Recommendations
Products exported should be properly packed before dispatching the product for sale. Labor should be properly trained on how to properly pack the export product to avoid the damaged that might cause while inspection is being performed.
Manufacturers exporting the products should perform an analysis about the average number of products that get damaged during inspection process. Similar number of products should be sent extra in shipment, so in case of damaged a new articles are readily available for replacement.
Also, exporting companies should get shipments insured in case of major damages in case of severe circumstances.
6.13. Role of Association
a) Issues
Association: As per leading practices, responsibilities of associations are perceived to include support of industry in matters including availability of raw material and skilled labor, capacity building of industry participants, Innovation and R & D in machinery and products, continuous mobilization and active participation of the stake holders of the industry. Associations provide active support to industry and take steps including raising industry’s concerns to appropriate forums.
The role of All Pakistan Kitchenware Association is perceived as passive by industries to address the current issues of the industries. There are no coercive efforts and members are working in their individual capacity to address current issues of industries i.e. unavailability of quality raw material, inadequate facilities to train labor, outdated technologies and inability of industries to reach export markets.
b) Recommendations
The Association should involve the key players and young entrepreneurs by conducting regular meetings and discussions. Associations should be vigilant of industrial problems and provide support for identifying and implementing solutions. There should be vibrant relations of association with Investors, Chamber of Commerce, Training institutions, Government Authorities, Finance Facilitators, Consulting Bodies and other key stakeholders to facilitate the efficient interventions of industrial problems.

It is also proposed that the Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce should actively involve the kitchenware association in business activities and meeting with foreign delegations for their capacity building. It may be advantageous if the members of this association visit the kitchenware clusters in the region especially India, China, and Iran to understand their operational techniques and cluster dynamics.

8. Cluster Vision
“Becoming world leader in iron, aluminum, stainless steel utensils and cooking appliances driven by innovation in both function and design. Bringing diversification and selling products in every region of world branding under ‘Made in Pakistan’. Having quick response to competition and offering products which are durable, have best quality, which will bring ease, save time, bind the original flavors of food and selling at competitive price. Factors like respecting ethical values, helping communities, respect for environment will be given equal importance”.
8.1. Strategy
In the kitchenware cluster at Gujranwala there is an ample scope for strategic interventions in certain key areas as described here under:
Technological Up-gradation:
As explained in 6.1 technology used in kitchenware production is outdate. The productivity is very low as compared to what is internationally produced in same time and with same number of labor. It is proposed that new technology can bring energy savings. Pre requisites for this proposed change are:
► Purchase of machinery on installments ► Waiver on import tariffs ► Facilitation in import of new plant and machinery ► Conduct techno economic study for the new technology ► Assistance in the selection of technology ► Workshop on required technologies with the core cluster actors ► Assist in the conduct of energy audit and recommend with the potential payback
period to the industrial units
Energy:
Up gradation of technology will bring the energy savings. Government can bring in following interventions:
► Conduct study for alternate fuel resources like charcoal and lignite ► With the arrival of LNG, provide Gas at priority to the kitchenware industry ► Increase tenure of supply of Gas and electricity
New Marketing Techniques:
As kitchenware is an innovative industry. Marketing is very important to educate the customer about the new product. This is why marketing activities are envisaged to be attentively undertaken. In this regard following steps are proposed:
► Marketing through: - Fair price shops - Retailers - Online marketing on social media - Marketing with pictures on companies websites - Marketing in cooking shows: by providing the kitchenware products for use in
those shows - Television commercials - Providing discounts on new product launch for few days or giving a complimentary
product on buying an expensive kitchenware range and launching such offers on private stores
- Fairs, exhibitions and well-organized buyer seller meets would add to the marketing.
► Promotion of Gujranwala as the Kitchenware cluster. ► Exploration of the new international markets and strategic entry into those markets
PUNJAB SMALL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION (PSIC)
DIAGNOSTIC STUDY FOR KITCHENWARE CLUSTER GUJRANWALA
49
Other activities/program to be undertaken to achieve the vision evolved: ► Joint participation in national/international exhibitions/fairs. ► Workshop(s) on export procedures & documentation. ► Personal counseling for solving technical problems. ► Networking with supporting Institutions. ► Workshop on importance of observing better health and safety measure. ► Initiative for cluster newsletter. ► Strengthening the association by having a secretariat, Magazine/ Newsletter, Library,
Website & linkage with other associations, NGOs, Govt. institutions. ► Delegation to international markets
Non-Stick Cookware:
Non-stick cookware was a revolutionary product idea which had an overall great impact on kitchenware industry. But with increased demand there were some reservations towards this innovation. Those can be addressed by:
► Conducting seminars at national level to spread awareness about the proper usage of non- stick cookware
► Investment in research and development to find safe consuming coating material ► Educating the manufacturer at national and international level to focus on finding
suitable coating material ► Providing incentives to attract user when new coating material is introduced to make
switching easier to new product
Trainings of Labor:
There needs to be strong coordination among industry, TEVTA should provide training facilities to kitchenware industry. As per the association, following courses are required for the labor:
► CNC machines operator training ► Adjust the aluminum sheet thickness at appropriate level ► Packing the material to save the damage to imported products
Further government can provide stipend to the under training labor. This will provide incentive for them to join the industry.
Increasing product range by innovation and diversification:
Major manufacturers should design in house research and development department and continuously research new designs and techniques to innovate new products. This can be done by diversification, making products by innovation. This is a break through step by increasing the business either to the existing customers or by penetrating into new markets. Variety of kitchenware products which will bring ease and will save the time of user should be introduced. For this purpose following initiatives are recommended:
► Meeting with the stake holders ► Assess the capacity of the design institutes to cater for the product design
requirement ► Workshop with the industry to connect the institutes with the association ► Monetary or other Incentives for the design institutes from the industry ► Product development with the help of expert ► Awareness programs to guide the industry on techniques for the new product
development ► Workshops to identify the manufacturing potential of the products in high demands
locally and internationally
PUNJAB SMALL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION (PSIC)
DIAGNOSTIC STUDY FOR KITCHENWARE CLUSTER GUJRANWALA
50
► Seminars to identify the potential benefit of the diversified product range
Improvement in Quality of Products:
Kitchenware industry is directly linked with the health of human beings. Kitchenware products are daily involved in food making process. The products manufactured in the cluster need appropriate inspection and quality control system at every stage of production. The system of quality plan can be developed so that the products are produced as per desired technical specifications. Introduction to the new firing technology will help improve quality of the final product. This will ensure the competitiveness of cluster nationally and internationally. Proposed activities are:
► Quality Standardization. ► Improving production technology ► Establishment of a local quality approval organization by Government. ► Awareness Programme(s) on ISO-9000 QMS. ► Educational Programme(s) on ISO-9000 QMS. ► Promoting the importance of maintaining product quality for survival in the long run
against competition. ► Initiating Action for establishing Testing labs. ► Common training for workers on quality issues
Availability of Finance: Due attention and financial aids should be provided by the Government to the SMEs. PSIC initiated the credit facilities for SMEs, but the said amount is highly insufficient, therefore financial institutions apart from commercial institutions need to be developed specifically for promotion, financing and development of the SMEs. Following services should be initiated by such institution:
► Provide working capital finance, long-term finance and trade finance, ► Quick processing and repayments on installments, ► Preferential lending against export targets, ► Less amount of paperwork should be involved.
The institution should also create awareness regarding policies and procedures for loan, because of the literacy level of the entrepreneurs in the cluster.
